Hello, Thanks for the query. Madam you have mentioned only fasting glucose level, that does not give any idea about whether diabetes is well controlled or not. Please inform after food glucose level and HbA1c%. These values are more important. (Should be 150 to 170 mg and HbA1c% < 6.8%). Plus there is no information on weight, height, dietary pattern extent of daily exercise, lipid profile, BP readings. Similarly by saying thyroid is within normal range. I do not know what is normal according to you. So please come back with all the necessary details. Then only I will be able to give some guidance. Thanks.
