It's good that you are feeling better but your TSH is still very high! Have you been given an increase of levothyroxine since these results? I suspect you will need a couple more increases before you reach your optimal dose.
Your hba1c is high. Do you have diabetes or prediabetes? It might be because you are hypothyroid and you may find it improves once you get your dose of thyroxine up a bit more.
I'm pleased you are starting to feel better. Just make sure you get the dose increased as you need to. Hopefully you will continue to feel better and better

thank you carolynb ,no not got diabetes or prediabets , long time ago 20 years had diabetes when carrying my daughter , was ok on 2 lads before her. was put on 50 levothyroxine after 1st test on 24/6/13 but wasn't picking up so had 2nd test and next day doctor put it up to 75, and has said its got to go up more, and got hospital app 28/8/13 because neck swelled up , going down a little now , but there something there. well i think its for that was so ill when i saw doctor that anything he said didn't go in lol, he has phoned to see if am picking up[i am] so i see him again 29/7/13. thanking you for answering feel alone with this, thank you so much x
You should be having regular increases in levothyroxine with blood tests done about every 4 to 6 weeks till your TSH is 1 or below. It will take a while.
Just in case you don't know, you take levo when you wake with one glass of water and have breakfast about half to one hour later. Always get copies of your blood tests complete with the ranges as it helps members to comment. Labs throughout the country differ in their ranges.
Have your blood tests at the earliest possible time, not taking your levo till afterwards.
I hope you feel better soon.
