Maybe you need a new doctor. Stress can throw off both blood sugar and thyroid.
Thanks for your kind reply. I don't know why my profile lists me as male, because I am a female. I am just a wreck with all this. You know how I feel, I feel AWFUL. I still have to take care of kids and house and my elderly mom, which is very hard. Yes the doctor gave me a higher dose.
My hair is falling out everywhere. I have a theory. I stopped all fish oil and vitamins because I think the thyroid slows everything down. I think I can't process the vitamins. The rash on the back of my hands is better after stopping the fish oil. I think it was all backing up in my liver and causing toxicity to the liver. Maybe this is why my Creatine was so high. Anyway, this really *****.
You know since I got REALLY strict on the carbs, I think my skin looks better. Who knows lazy maybe you will look really great when it all comes down.
Yep, my glucose was up when my thyroid was hypo - now 6 months later, its improving (under 100).. But mine has never been below 90. Never been overwieght either. No sugar for me!
Yes you are right. Blood sugar can definitly be affected when thyroid levels are off. You are hypothyroid with TSH of 8.5 and so many symptoms. You more than likely need an increase in thyroid hormone but need to have the actual thyroid levels checked before to know for sure. FREE t3 and FREE t4. Good luck and God bless!
