Hb1ac was 5.9 and fasting was 110 and pp was 141 I am taking jalra m 50/850 , Shelcal M, OXCQ 200 AND THYRONOM 50mcg Today I tested my sugar is 97 and pp is 115 and urine acr is 5mg/dl Shall I test again after 2 month or wait to go to my doc afterwards or now .

TSH 5.6, Thyronorm 62.5

TSH 10 diagnosed first 1 year back & started on 50 mcg after which TSH 0.13. On 25 mcg TSH came 5.6 On 37.5 , TSH 9 On 50 mcg TSH 3.3 On 50 mcg,  current TSH 5.6 and Thyronorm dose increased 62.5 mcg Patient 72 yrs has liver disease hypertension prediabetes. No thyroid symptoms, weight 52.40 kg. Is Thyronorm dose given now of 62.5 for TSH 5.6 appropriate?

Fasting Sugar Low, Hba1c 5.7

My fasting glucose was 70 mg/dL, but HbA1c was 5.7%. After 3–4 months of intermittent fasting/OMAD, HbA1c was still 5.8%. I was on mirtazapine 60 mg. My CBC showed Hb 14.9, RBC 5.89 million, MCV 76.4, MCH 25.3, RDW 16. Iron studies: serum iron 93 µg/dL, TIBC 305 µg/dL, transferrin saturation 30.5%, ferritin 88 ng/mL. Could this HbA1c be falsely elevated due to possible thalassemia trait or other RBC factors, or does this suggest true prediabetes despite a fasting glucose of 70?

Prediabetic condition

I am 40Y old . My father 75 has diabetes . In may month my hb1ac was 6, fasting sugar 93, fructosamine -215 ( lab test)pp was 130 .yesterday I ate white rice dal and potataies at 7 pm . It was full plate .My pp came out to be 174. First time my pp is like this . Next day fasting was 104. both pp and fasting on glucometerHave I progressed to diabetes within 2 months . I was eating one full mango everyday after dinner may be it can be the cause but my 174 reading was without mango( i didnt eat mango that day ). I am going for walk after dinner since in nuclear family and having toddler plue 8 to 5 job it is difficult to maintain much diet. I am too much stressed. Kindly guide me. I know i have to be careful but sudden high numbers are stressing me .

Pictutary microadenoma

My prolactins level were high and doctor suggested MRI These are the findings "There is an ovoid nodule measuring 6.6 x 8.8 x 5.7 mm (AP x TR x CC) seen in pituitary gland on left side, which appears isointense on T1, heterogeneously hyperintense on T2, hypoenhancing on early phase of dynamic contrast images and intense homogeneous contrast enhancement on delayed images of dynamic study. Pituitary stalk is deviated towards right side. Imaging findings are suggestive of pituitary microadenoma. Serum prolactin estimation is suggested." I am very worried, what does it mean ?
