Diabetes and thyroid

I AM CONVINCED LEVO AFFECTS YOUR GLUCOSE LEVEL.

GO TO BED WITH 119, WAKE UP 10 HOURS LATER 129..FASTING, 12 hours TAKE MY LEVO DURING THE NITE 3:30 am...50 mg

Articles do confirm the glucose...levo thing....Doctors do not listen

The Levothyroxine PIL states "If you take medicines to control diabetes or warfarin to prevent blood clots, the dose may need to be adjusted by your doctor when you start taking levothyroxine tablets" and "The following may be affected by levothyroxine: anticoagulant medicines to prevent blood clots such as warfarin, medicines to treat diabetes such as insulin and metformin" so the connection/interaction shouldn't be unknown by a GP.

Not officially diabetic ....pre ?

But the rise of levels overnite, with complete fast......to me, links levo to that..taken 3:30 am

Or, could it be the “dawn phenomenon”?

Have a Google - here’s one result: mayoclinic.org/diseases-con...

Agree. That's been my experience with NatureThroid &T3. They make insulin less effective.
