Hello, Thanks for the query.
Treatment for Hyperthyroidism with anti-thyroid drugs has to be continued for 12 to 18 months, some times up to 24 months. Once the TSH level comes to around 3 mU/L (0.5 to 5 mU/L), then drug is discontinued. Later TSH is checked on regular basis (every six moth). If it remains with in normal range, that means one is cured form hyperthyroidism.
Taking treatment for a few weeks is not good at all. It does not have any specific action. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
The anti-thyroid treatment is usually given for a period of 18 months or some times up to 24 months. In case if the level of TSH returns to normal earlier, then treatment is discontinued. Since you have not mentioned the duration of the treatment (how long the drug is being taken) or current TSH level, plus whether you have the symptoms of the disease, it is difficult to give any opinion. Thanks.

Lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
For a diabetic person it is essential to achieve a strict blood glucose control. That means fasting blood glucose should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <7. That too considering your age HbA1c% should be <7.
