Hello doctor
I have just got my random blood sugar test done and the range is very high 375. My HBA1C levels are currently at 8.9. I just had c section delivery 3 months back and did not have any high blood sugar issues then. I do not want to take in insulin. What medicines can i take safely to reduce blood sugar while breastfeeding?
6 months ago my hba1c was 6.1, stopped taking Sweets and reduced weight from 80 to 70, my height is 5.6 feet , was taking canthex capsules, then hba1c came to 4.7 after three months, now further 3 months I do the test again and hba1c is 5.9 , considering I'm taking fruits daily and some sweets too and started taking potatoes too, what should I do, thyroid function test and random blood sugar and fasting blood sugar are normal
Hi,
I’m 27 years old female and currently weigh 100 kg and height is 5'5". I have been working out regularly for 6 days a week and eating normal home cooked food, but I’m not seeing any meaningful weight loss.
I also have hypothyroidism — my TSH was around 11 six months ago. I do feel low energy and fatigue quite often despite trying to stay active.
I’ve also noticed signs like dark pigmentation around my neck and under my eyes, which I’ve read could be related to insulin resistance.
I feel like despite consistent efforts, my body is not responding, and I’m getting physically tired. I want to understand if there’s an underlying metabolic issue.
Could you please guide me on what tests I should do and whether medical treatment options like GLP-1 medications would be appropriate in my case?

My father aged 60 years had undergone Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) in 2021. He recovered well after the surgery and does not have any known history of diabetes or high blood pressure. However, for the past couple of months he has been experiencing occasional dizziness and sudden weakness. When we checked his blood pressure it was normal, but we still decided to take him to the hospital. He was kept under observation for 24 hours and all the reports came back normal. The doctor discharged him and suggested that the problem might be due to gastric issues.
Recently, he has been getting tired easily, so we decided to check his blood sugar and lipid levels. His fasting blood sugar was 166 and triglycerides were 266. After one month, we repeated the tests and his fasting sugar was 151 and triglycerides were 208.
At present, he sometimes feels weak and is not able to walk fAt present, he sometimes feels weak and is not able to walk fast as before. We are concerned about his health.
