Take it thyroid tablets regularly. N get it checked too. Proper healthy diet with excerices into control weight is needed. For diabetes first try to control with dietary measures avoid sugar sweets potatoes rice full cream milk junk food. Many not. Get sugar tested again after 1 month. If same then visit a physician.

Hi Your weight seems to be more. You will have to lose atleast 8 to 10 percent of your weight to control your thyroid problems. Also your HbA1C report says your a non diabetic (if your not a diabetic and not on medicines) but a Fasting blood sugar of 111 says you have impaired glucose tolerance and you have a risk of becoming a diabetic in the future. Follow a low calorie diet and lose weight. Exercise regularly. Eat healthy.
