Anyone now have hypoglycemia issues that they never used to have and track their levels with a monitor? I understand is common with hashi's. Seems to be more noticeable with me this year. Just trawling through old posts to see if I could find others and came across a post I made 2 yrs ago about it

I'm 68 and have been hypothyroid for 10 years, all bloods fine and in range and have been in fairly good health.
