Fluctuating blood sugar with Hashimoto

[Lu-ck]

Does anyone else experience borderline hypos with Hashi?

My blood sugar is now fluctuating noticeably since diagnosis in Sept last year but my Hb A1c ( long range blood glucose) came back in normal range

Any ideas? Thanks

Have you had vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 tested by GP? If not request they are done

Have you had coeliac blood test yet?

Are you already on strictly gluten free diet? If not get coeliac blood test first before trying

You also really need FT3 tested.

Had vit D, folate etc done = within range.

Wheat sensitivity test =pos but not gut symptoms to suggest coeliac so GP not tested. FT3 not available through GP

Strictly GF for 5months

Good you are strictly gluten free

You don't need any gut symptoms to still benefit. It's due to leaky gut and low stomach acid

Within range on vitamins is often not high enough. If you add results and ranges members can advise if you need to supplement
