Brief Answer:
Average core temperature 37.4 degree

Detailed Answer:
good day,
Average normal core temperature of the body is around 37.4 degrees. When core body temeparture falls below 35 dgrees, it is called hypothermia. Core body temperature is difficult to measure. Rectal temperature is closer to that. If you are keeping thermeter in skin or mouth, the temperature can vary. Especially if you are in an airconditioned room. If using Mouth or axilla, make sure you keep thermometer for sufficiciently long time. Since thyroid is normal, not to worry. Diabetes generally doesnt affect temperature uch except in associated neuropathy where skin may lose ability to sweat and regulate temperature.
