My latest Blood test results

[ashokkumart]

Hi all,

Here is my latest blood test results

Fasting Blood Sugar- 120mg/dl

Total Cholesterol - 205 mg/dl

TSH- 7.8mlU/L

I am on Levo 75 mcg one in the morning and

metformin 500 mg+ glipizide 5 mg tablets two times daily.

Do I have to increase the dose of levo?

Please comment

Ashokkumart, yes you need to increase Levothyroxine in 25mcg increments every 6-8 weeks until TSH is around 1.0. Increasing Levothyroxine can raise blood sugars so you will need to monitor blood sugar in case Metformin needs increasing too.

Thank you very much. I have made levo 100 mcg now. I am closely monitoring FBS and will do the needful with metformin.

Thanking you once again
