Hi I am on NDT and just had a test result today from my GP

My T3 was 5.2 and my T.4 11.7 is this a good range to be in or will I need to increase my meds as I currently taking 2 grains a day!

Carriebaby,

You haven't included the ranges. They're the figures in brackets after the results.

FT3 5.2 isn't usually top of range so there is scope to increase dose if you are still symptomatic. FT4 is usually low in range, sometimes below range, when taking NDT.

Sorry I forgot to ask but I'm in Scotland so is the ranges not the same everywhere

No they vary area to area throughout the UK.
