Type 1 Levothyroxine

[Blueduck]

Can anyone , who has started on Levothyroxine tell me how much they had to increase their insulin by? As I’ve been having trouble with my bs levels for about a year, the dr put me on Levothyroxine last Christmas and it made my bs go up, they decided as I was borderline to stop the Levo. Now after advise from endro. Who says I must take the Levo. As my levels have gone up, and I’m not sure what to increase or by how much, waiting for an endro. Appointment to come. Thanks

they were not posts, rather forum members I tagged, they should receive a highlight signposting to this thread when next login. Hopefully they be able to share their expierence to help with your particular question.

Only advice can offer, presuming your wearing a cgm is perhaps you can work out a pattern based on particular timing take that med over a period of time. Some meds can take a while to build up in system hopefully will become easier in time predicting. Has anything else changed within your normal daily routines/exercising/eating habbits that could be contributing to it?
