Results all over the place

[muirfoot107]

Oh to get a results letter without any red warnings on it.

Could anyone comment please?

Hashimotos/underactive. 4 years diagnosed, 2 years self medicating on NDT (Nature-Throid 4 grains). Also take Vitamin D 5000 daily.

Should I go down to 3 or 2 grains NDT?

Take folate supplements?

My Anti-Thyroidperoxidase is always high but I've never before had high Anti-Thyroid globulin.

Any other thoughts most appreciated.

(I've tested adrenals 3 times but not recently, I had conflicting results each time so couldn't see a pattern)

It looks like you're a smidge overmedicated - but not by much. I wouldn't drop a whole grain, maybe half a grain. You might even find that your sweet spot is 3 and 3/4 grains.

Can't comment on the insulin (not without googling it anyway ) but your B12 and folate are both too low. It's best to aim for around 1000 for B12 and to get your folate up into double figures.

Googled it. Insulin resistance - metabolic syndrome is a possibility.

And being careful not to scare yourself (because worst case scenarios are very rare) have a read here labtestsonline.org.uk/under...

Do not understand the insulin result but the HbA1c means you are not diabetic.
