If you have a Hemoglobin A1c level of 5.7-6.4%, you are at risk for diabetes. If your level is 6.5% or higher, it means that you have diabetes. Signs of this condition include thirstiness, frequent urination, weariness, or unclear eyesight at times. Overeating, genetics combined with little or no physical activity could be the cause behind it all or some of these symptoms coming up. Controlling your blood sugar requires eating well-balanced meals regularly and exercising often if not daily; medication may also be necessary depending on other factors such as age, sex, race, etc.

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.

How to increase my hormone level
Male | 18
If your hormone levels are not where you would like them to be, this could lead to feelings of fatigue as well as irritability. A lack of sufficient rest, stress, or an improper diet are all potential causes behind having low hormonal amounts within the body. To create higher hormone amounts within the body: reduce stress through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises; aim for at least 8 hours of sleep each night; eat foods that are high in healthy fats like avocados and nuts while also being good sources of protein.

I am 30 weeks pregnant with diabetis. I am on 12 unit insulin for lunch and dinner. And 14 unit in the night for next day fasting level. I am not eating anything sweet or rice or potato still my sugar is not in control. I eat only two roti dal and sabji in day and night. In the middle I eat apple and nuts. Only. Can you guide what could be the issue. Should I increase my insulin unit. Sometimes with the same food same unit of insulin it comes normal in range like 110 but most of the time it comes 190. For morning I eat besan or dal chilla or boiled chana.
Female | 33
It is good you are taking care of your diabetes with insulin and good food. But, blood sugar can be hard to control during pregnancy because of hormone changes. Eating two rotis with dal and sabji, plus an apple and nuts is a wise choice. Check your blood sugar at different times to see how your body reacts to food and insulin. You may need to change your insulin doses with your doctor's help.

I've been gaining weight suddenly , I have had PCOS for 4 years now but suddenly last year I started gaining weight , i changed from 58kg to 68 kg in just a year or so . I've not changed by diet much but still I am gaining weight, and when I try to exercise I am getting really short of breath , I can't even exercise the most simple things
Female | 22
The weight gain could be due to your PCOS which can produce imbalances in hormones and influence metabolism. The shortness of breath accompanying exercise could indicate poor fitness or be a symptom of an underlying health problem. A gynecologist's visit is needed for a full assessment and advice on how to handle your PCOS and weight issues. In the meantime, try gentle exercises like walking and focus on a balanced diet to help improve your health.

Your TSH is 6.5 which means that you may have a thyroid problem. One of the symptoms of this could be feeling weak, gaining weight, or getting cold easily. In addition, with a B12 level of only 198, you are also at risk of feeling numb and weak. You might require medicine to fix the thyroid issue while low B12 might call for adjusting your diet or taking supplements.

Sir my c-peptide test results 7.69 And my hb1c 5.2 Feeling empty stomach and weekness and low suger I am non diabetic
Male | 45
Based on the symptoms and test results, it appears that your body might not be producing enough insulin. This is known to cause low sugar, weakness, and hunger. Even if you’re not diabetic, such problems could be related to insulin. Attempt taking small frequent meals high in protein and fiber. Seek further assessment and advice from a doctor if these symptoms persist.

Female | 13
A 13-year-old may still have some growing to do. The growth spurt during puberty is different for everyone. Most girls stop growing taller between 14 and 16 years old. However, it is true that a few factors that can affect a person's height are genetics and nutrition. Environmental factors (nutrition) and genetic endowments are the ways to ensure her growth. If you want her to grow, make sure she's getting a sufficient diet and moving a lot.

Female | 23
Your thyroid gland makes hormones that control how your body works. Hypothyroidism means the gland doesn't make enough of these hormones. You may feel tired all the time. Gaining weight unexpectedly can happen too. Feeling cold more often than normal is another symptom. One treatment option is Ayurveda. Keva Ayurveda uses herbs and lifestyle changes to help balance hormones and bodily functions. Their therapies might ease your hypothyroidism symptoms through methods like herbal remedies. But don't try anything new without talking to your regular doctor first.

Thyroid high hone se kya bimri ho jati hai
Male | 17
The thyroid gland creates hormones. Too many hormones mean hyperthyroidism. You may lose weight, feel anxious, have a fast heartbeat, or sweat excessively. Graves' disease causes hyperthyroidism. Medications lower thyroid hormone levels. In severe cases, surgery removes part of the thyroid. If you suspect hyperthyroidism, consult your doctor immediately. They can evaluate symptoms and prescribe treatment.

When I wake up in the morning and I haven't even drank, I still pee a lot. comes once but Its range is more and after that I sleep and then I go to the washroom, still I come out with a lot of urine. Its range is more without water. Why is this so? I neither have diabetes nor UTI infection Am unmarried
Female | 22
Human beings tend to urinate more in the morning than in the evening after sleeping for a long period. This is because our kidneys expel more of the blood impurities overnight. Therefore, we should expect to pee more after we wake up. In the absence of other symptoms like pain or unusual color, it is usually normal.
