Hello Doctor, I am 46 yrs Old & I found my HbA1c 5.8 & TSH Level 7.94 in test report. what should I do ? please advise

Ans: You should get an oral glucose tolerance test done. Also, a free T4 test would be required. Basic metabolic workup along with lipid profile too. Consult a Doctor to guide you further. HbA1c of 5.8% suggests prediabetes and lifestyle changes and weight optimisation needed based on BMI.
