Dealing with diabetes and thyroid issues?

Patient's Query

Suffering from diebetic, thiroid

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

It's not uncommon for these conditions to coexist. Diabetes can sometimes lead to thyroid problems, and vice versa. The fluctuating hormone levels can really throw things off balance. There are effective ways to manage both conditions. It's crucial to take your medications regularly, watch your diet, and stay active. I recommend scheduling a follow-up with your endocrinologist to discuss your symptoms and maybe run some tests to tailor your treatment plan.

I was wondering if having sugar levels at 109 is high or low

Female | 17

Having sugar levels at 109 is neither too high nor too low. This is normal. You may not have any symptoms at this level. 109 is a healthy range, but it’s good to keep an eye on it. Eating healthy foods and doing exercise regularly can help you to maintain this level. If your sugar levels go too high or too low, you might feel tired, thirsty, or shaky.

Female | 23

Testosterone aur estrogen ke levels ka imbalance kabhi-kabhi nightfall, yaani involuntary ejaculation, ke wajah ban sakta hai. Symptoms mein shamil ho sakte hain fatigue, anxiety, ya hormonal changes. Treatment ke liye lifestyle modifications jaise healthy diet aur regular exercise kaafi madadgar ho sakte hain. Agar ye samasya zyada barh jaaye, toh kisi qualified healthcare professional se milna behtar rahega. Wo proper tests ke zariye aapki health situation ko samajh kar, appropriate therapy ya medication recommend kar sakte hain.

Hi I am 17 years old girl . My height is 5.6 and my weight is 88 kgs . My problem is still I didn’t attend puberty

Female | 17

The reason is that each person achieves puberty at their age. Not developing breasts or getting a period by a certain age are some signs of delayed puberty. The reasons may be different. For example, a person's family history can play a role or some specific medical conditions may be involved. A well-balanced diet, regular exercise, and having a conversation with a nutritionist can be helpful to tackle the issue of delayed puberty.

Am diabetic since 15 years. BP normal as am taking medication. I take insulin Actrapid 100 u 14-3-10 and toujeo 28-0-0 along with Sitagliptin OD 100. fp sugar 140-160 ,PP 210-220. I feel dizziness in evening between 6 and 7. That time sugar level is 140-160. Is it because sugar variation. If eat something dizziness goes. Is it because of insulin

Male | 73

Your insulin lowers blood sugar, causing dizzine­ss when levels drop in e­vening. Eating raises blood sugar, helping dizzine­ss. Consume snacks before 6 pm to te­st if it improves. Persistent dizzine­ss requires discussion with healthcare­ provider. Small adjustments may make big diffe­rence. Freque­nt monitoring helps regulate sugar fluctuations. Maintaining stable­ levels preve­nts dizzy spells. Seeking me­dical guidance ensures prope­r care.

I am 36 years old. I have TSH level of 3.6 microIU/mL. What should be the dose of my medicine. Currently I was prescribed with 50mcg.

Female | 36

If your TSH level tests positive with a figure of 3.6 microIU/mL, this is within limits but slightly on the higher side. Higher than normal TSH levels often come with symptoms like fatigue, unexplained weight gain, and feeling cold when others are warm. In case you are experiencing any of these symptoms, alongside the fact that 50mcg is your current dose, it means that you may need to adjust it depending on what your body demands. You must always consult your doctor when there is a need to do so.

Untreated diabetes weight loss medication and urine smells like sewer

Female | 44

If you do not take care­ of diabetes, you may lose we­ight. Your pee might also smell bad. This happe­ns when your body cannot use sugar right. It starts using fat and muscle for e­nergy instead. This causes we­ight loss. To fix this, you must control your diabetes. Eat healthy foods, e­xercise, and take me­dicine as told. This will help kee­p your blood sugar levels normal.

Female | 37

When the levels of your thyroid are too high or too low, you may experience a lot of discomfort. Signs and symptoms of high levels of thyroid hormone in the bloodstream (hyperthyroidism) can include nervousness, insomnia, and spontaneous weight loss. You will need to collaborate with your doctor to determine the right amount of medication for you. If you think that your levels are off, you must raise this issue with them.

Iam 36 years old. Two days back my lips vibrating.. One hour there gone.. Then today morning same vibrating lips.. Not stop.. What is the reason.. I have thiroid and vitamin d deficiency..

Female | Anumol jeejo

Vibrating or twitching lips can be linked to several factors, including stress, fatigue, or low nutrient levels, especially with your existing thyroid condition and vitamin D deficiency. These spasms may also signal dehydration or anxiety. It’s reassuring that they often resolve on their own. However, to ensure your well-being, please consider consulting a healthcare provider. They can assess your overall health, check your vitamin levels, and provide tailored advice. Staying hydrated, managing stress, and ensuring a balanced diet are beneficial steps you can take.

I have insulin resistance. Can I drink fennel seeds water as my night drink? Will it help in reducing my blood sugar levels?

Female | 16

Your body may not answer we­ll to insulin, causing elevated blood sugar le­vels - that's insulin resistance. Taking fe­nnel seeds wate­r is a familiar home treatment, ye­t proof of its direct effect on de­creasing blood sugar amounts is lacking. It's best to concentrate­ on nutritious eating habits, being active, and using any pre­scribed medications by your doctor.

I am 26yr old female, I have got blood test done where my LH: FsH ratio came 3.02, my prolactin came 66.5, my sugar was 597 at fasting, my TSH is 4.366 and my RBC count is 5.15.

Female | 26

Based on the results from your blood tests, there are some things we should investigate. High levels of prolactin can be caused by stress, certain medications, or a problem with the pituitary gland in the brain. With a fasting sugar level of 597, you may have diabetes. A TSH level of 4.366 could indicate a problem with your thyroid gland. You should see a doctor and get checked out further for treatment options.

My Thyroid TSH level is 36.80 I want to confirm the medicine and dosage

Female | 31

A TSH level of 36.80 indicates that your thyroid might be malfunctioning. Among its signs and symptoms are getting tired, gaining weight, and always being cold. The so-called hypothyroidism can also be one of the reasons why. Commonly, doctors tend to prescribe drugs based on thyroid hormones such as levothyroxine. The dosage should be calculated by your doctor for your specific needs.

Hy i am Shama Pawha i have irregular peroid , acne problem, hair fall , and also i have thyroid problem.

Female | 25

Irregular periods, acne, hair fall, and thyroid problems can be related to each other. Thyroid issues can interfere with your hormones, thus causing period and skin problems. Hair loss could also be caused by thyroid deficiency. Checking up with a doctor for your thyroid levels and being treated for it can help normalize the situation. They may prescribe specific medications or suggest other treatments to ameliorate the symptoms.
