Help with blood tests please - Triglycerides high again
Hi All, Would appreciate help with my recent blood test results please. I am taking 75mcg/100mcg alternate days. Then upped my T3 in April to 12.5mcg per day after blood tests showed high cholesterol. My recent tests show T3 increased from 4.3 to 5.47 so very positive increase. LDL down from 3.4

What's your experience of coming of steroids
So I have my rheumatology appointment next week so hopefully will get a better understanding of what's going on. In the meantime I am on mycophenalate and a weaning dose of prednisolone for eye inflammation, started with 800mg in December and am now on 2.5mg before stopping in 2 months time. However

My type 2 diabetes
Hello there, hope everyone is healthy today! I’m 26 years old male from India. Two years back, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes when I visited the doctor for some other reason. It was no surprise to me as both my parents have type 2 diabetes and I am also moderately obese with no physical activity

Distortion of Hba1c test with levo
Hi Someone asked me to give further info about my claim that HbA1c tests cannot be relied upon if you are being treated with levothyroxine. I can't find that request now so I'm starting a new thread. The clearest statement is on the American Thyroid Association website.

What I learned about steroids and blood sugar levels from wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) on the ZOE program
I’ve just finished using a CGM for 2 weeks as a paying participant in the ZOE study, which I mentioned in a previous post: https://healthunlocked.com/pmrgcauk/posts/149526653/ive-signed-up-for-tim-spectors-zoe-study-looking-at-blood-sugars-and-gut-health Many PMR and GCA patients, self-included, have

Levothyroxine and eating
Hi, Can you help me please? I'm trying to improve my levels and one measure is trying to tighten up when I take my Levo around food/drinks. I must admit I've been pretty slack with this over time. I began first of all a few years ago by getting up early and taking an hour before food and drinks. That

Hypo weight gain mystery is now finally revealed for me (anyway)
Some great posts here recently covering various aspects of blood sugar levels and hypo condition: -Dawn effect whereby blood sugar tends to rise between 4-8am -Evidence that taking Levo pills provides a spike in blood sugar -Hypo condition anyway leads to slower metabolism and less regulated insulin

Blue Horizon Microbiome Test
I've had my results back. My gut microbiome shares my age, so that's not so bad. I have a high indication for autoimmune diseases. ( no sh*t, Sherlock) No vitamin deficiencies. I should eat more soybean ( no thanks) and there is a reason I've never liked bananas - according to the test, I shouldn't

Plant Sterols for reduction of cholesterol
Not necessarily related to PMR as I have had high cholesterol since I first started having blood tests years ago. My 'good' and 'bad' have always been about the same level. My current GP suggested statins. I declined. She then suggested trying plant sterols. I've ordered a couple pf packs from
