Low blood sugar episodes

[Carrie97]

My dose was reduced a couple wks back due to feeling hyper, regular palps etc. I feel better but I'm having episodes of low blood sugar. Today I was in town shopping and out the blue felt like I was about to pass out! I had to get some coke to drink was so awful.

Suggest you get full blood tests

TSH, FT4 and FT3, plus vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 tested

If you can't get full thyroid and vitamin testing from GP

Medichecks Thyroid plus ultra vitamin or Blue Horizon Thyroid plus eleven are the most popular choice. DIY finger prick test or option to pay extra for private blood draw. Both companies often have money off offers.

All thyroid tests should be done as early as possible in morning and fasting and don't take Levo in the 24 hours prior to test, delay and take straight after. This gives highest TSH and most consistent results

Also if possible get an HB1AC test done as well.

HbA1c test should show up whether you have problems regulating blood sugar levels over the last couple of months.

I had this several times a week prior to TT .

I dont know thyroid levels before as not tested more than a couple of times years before . However since TT, thyroid hormones are OK ish .I have not had any episodes for nearly 2 yrs . So apart from checking diabetic risk it could be thyroid levrld need checking
