Recommended TSH Levels May Not Be Right. Clinical chemists and doctors decided decades ago that healthy people with normal functioning thyroid glands have TSH levels within a range of 0.450 to 4.500 mIU/L (and some labs go as high as 5.000mIU/L). In clinical shorthand, the diagnostic range is rounded out to 0.4-4.0.
For people with diabetes or obesity, cabbage is also one good vegetable choice that can help control high blood sugar and weight gain. Both of these two problems are commonly seen in patients with stage 3 kidney disease. Cabbage also contains rich antioxidant substances.
Diabetes: Cabbage might affect blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Watch for signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and monitor your blood sugar carefully if you have diabetes and use cabbage. Under-active thyroid gland (hypothyroidism): There is some concern that cabbage might make this condition worse. It's best to avoid cabbage if you have an under-active thyroid gland.
