@Totto
My test results:-
TSH ........0.22 (0.27-4.20)
T4 total...125.1 (64.5-142.0)
Free T4....21.34 (12-22)
Free T3.....4.59 (3.1-6.8)
So I only need a small increase in TSH but have only 100mcg tablets.
Still can't understand why my BG has gone up because I am not eating anything different.
Hi again
@carol43 , thanks for posting the results. I don't know about Levothyroxine dose vs BG levels, but I do know a little about the relationship between TSH and free T4.
Firstly I'm not medically qualified, secondly I have no idea about total T4 or free T3, but I'm assuming that as you're taking T3, the T3 must be a significant one for you.
Just explaining my own situation, though, and what I've learned from it, the two tests I have for my thyroid function are TSH and free T4.
My last TSH result was similar to yours (in the 0.2s but can't remember precise figure), and my free T4 was 24.
I know that for me to be 'right', my TSH needs to be on the low side (ie so that my pituitary is not pumping out loads of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone to tell my body that I need more Levothyroxine) and my T4 needs to be on the upper end of the scale (22 is about right for me - my last two tests were 28 and 24).
My own dose of Levo needs
reducing further rather than increasing, given my TSH and T4 results. If my TSH is
lower than the ideal range AND my T4 is at the high end, the
last thing my body would need is more Levothyroxine.
As I say, I don't know about T3 or total T4, but that's what my own TSH and T4 results mean for me.
