Welcome to the forum, Taps.

TSH 2.6 indicates your thyroid gland is beginning to struggle but NHS won't usually diagnose hypothyroidism until TSH is >5 or 6.

If you are woken because of low sugar try eating a biscuit or banana and drink water with your meal.

Taps,

If you leave the 'nana on your night stand you can snatch a couple of bites and then go back to sleep.
