[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2303551, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome. I don't have thyroid issues, but I do have PCOS. It is quite possible that the metformin was keeping your HbA1c at 41, and without it you have risen to 46. The drink test is called a glucose tolerance test, to see how your body copes with a sugary drink. The result (combined with the HbA1c test result) can be used to establish whether you are diabetic, or not. From what you have told us, I think you have a strong argument to ask for the Metformin back, once the tests have been completed. There are a number of lifestyle and dietary choices you can make which may well help the blood glucose, and the PCOS, since higher protein and lower carb ways of eating are gathering momentum for people with PCOS. I am sure that someone with experience of thyroid issues will be along soon. I will tag in [USER=345386]@DCUKMod[/USER] and [USER=401801]@JoKalsbeek[/USER] since I know they have personal knowledge of this. [/QUOTE]
