Asked for male, 24 years old from Mohali
Mr Meharaj, There is no specific answer for why you have got this condition, as there are many reasons like iodine deficiency, autoimmune disease (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis), Goitre and also genetic factors.
But if one has hypothyroidism (high TSH), it has to be treated with supplement of thyroxine tablets. This treatment has to be continued for life time. There are no home remedies, that can help in controlling thyroid deficiency. One thing you can do is avoid soy beans, soy containing products, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, radish, mustard, peanuts and coffee. Consume more of green leafy vegetables and salads, fruits, low fat milk products. Also exercise daily for at least 1 hour a day. These things help additionally. But drug treatment is essential.
Asked for male, 37 years old from Cuttack
For a diabetic it is best advised to have a diet planned as per the sugar levels, lifestyle and history.
Though you can follow some guidelines -
have small frequent meals.
Do not fast for long hours.
Avoid a very heavy meal at one time.
Avoid fruit juices, aerated drinks or sugarcane juice, honey, jaggery or sugar.
Avoid junk foods.
Exercise and stay active.
Do not attempt to try out too many remedies as you could go into hypoglycaemia.
Sleep well. It's all a matter of discipline.
Asked for female, 32 years old from Bangalore
sugar and jaggery both are absolutely same, only difference being one is white and the other is yellow/brown etc. Both are made from sugar cane juice. Sugar contains one molecule of glucose + one molecule of fructose. Similarly honey contains mainly fructose, this has a different metabolic route in the body, does not increase blood sugar directly, but it adds to building up of triglycerides. Fructose after absorption gose to liver and is converted to triglycerides. So excess fructose is not advisable.
Asked for female, 29 years old from Amritsar
hair grow on body is due to thyroid and fibroids in uterus. what are tsh level in 2015.
pl. tell us.. but you may continue your medicines till then.
You can take Nutrient-rich foods that improve your health may also benefit your thyroid gland,
antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables more plenty of water: Blueberries, tomatoes, bell peppers, and other foods rich in antioxidants can improve overall health and benefit the thyroid gland. Eating foods high in B vitamins, like whole grains, may also help.
Selenium: Tiny amounts of selenium are needed for enzymes that make thyroid hormones to work properly. Eating selenium-rich foods, such as sunflower seeds or Brazil nuts, can be beneficial.
Tyrosine: This amino acid is used by the thyroid gland to produce T3 and T4. Taking a supplement may help,
avoid alcohl if you take.
Asked for male, 42 years
Please start with glyciphage 500mg one daily with lunch as your sugar level is not controlled. And do consult for personalised management.

Diabetes and Dental Disease : *A two way street*.
Diabetes is a *multifactorial* disease that affect various organ of our body like heart, kidney, eyes and of course not sparing one of the vital organ like mouth including teeth and gums. Teeth and gums are indispensable Do us as we chew our food. Digestion begin in mouth. diabetes affect our oral cavity leads to loosening of tooth, swelling of gums, and also bone loss around the teeth leads to pus pain, discomfort. Researchers have proved diabetes to be a double edge sword means it impairs sugar control & also let our body fail to cope with it.
*Dental Surgeons* play a key role in diagnosing diabetes and also treat the symptoms related to diabetes and also controls sugar through dental treatment.
So diabetic patients warrant urgent referral to *dental surgeons* and get all round treatment of oral cavity.
Remember the notion goes in its way:
"Pain is mandatory but suffering is optional.

Your fasting sugar indicate that you are pre diabetic stage & post lunch sugar indicate that you are suffering from diabetes in initial stage, according to your height & weight your BMI is 29.9 it means you are overweight near obese class 1, I don't know your HBA1C or average 8 to 12 weeks blood sugar. At first you should take balance nutritional diet, avoid sweet & sweetened agent,(direct sugar intake &which made with sugar) do exercise, half an hour walking daily beneficial to you& try to reduction your body weight. After two months you recheck your blood sugar level & hba1c (our target level FBS 70 to 130 mg/dl, PPBS- < 180 mg/dl & HBA1C <7% ). I hope you will be in our target level & continue your diet & exercise, otherwise you should take help a local diabetologist or endocrinologist. Good luck.
Asked for male, 20 years old from Delhi
Lybrate-user when you know that it is bad for your health then why do you want to do that. See anything done in moderation is not harmful but excess is definitely harmful. No one can ensure that you will not have diabetes. You have to take care of yourself. Remember an age old saying" it's not like that diabetes runs in family, it is more that no one runs in the family"
hope this clears my point. So do exercise daily.
Asked for male, 62 years old from Vijayawada
Mr. lybrate-user Narayan, Creatinine of 1.4 mg / dl, good enough. There is no need to worry about it. Only if it goes still higher then there may be a need to consider reduction. Creatinine can be reduced by reducing protein intake to less than 0.6 g/kg/d and avoiding strenuous activity. Diabetes itself affects kidney function over the years. So strict blood glucose control also has to be maintained. Thanks.
Asked for male, 32 years old from Guntur
Mr. lybrate-user, Plantar fasciaitis is an inflammation at the insertion of that fascia in the heel. It needs certain regular exercise like walking on the toes, picking up a cloth with toes, using soft foot wear and applying ice to the heel twice a day. Plus there a few exercises suggested. That will help in controlling it. Occasionally local steroid injections are given if the pain is too bad. Thanks.
