Results all over the place

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.

Not what you're looking for?
