T3 and insulin

Hi, I tried to increase the T3 dose in the morning (5 to 10mcg) but my blood sugar went up(90 to 150). Why is this happening?

I take with levo 3x5mcg times/day but I noticed that if I take a higher dose of T3 in the morning I have more energy. I'm thinking of moving the morning dose(10mcgT3) to the evening but I don't know if I'll have the same energy throughout the day.

If you have high blood sugar (diabetes), this medicine (liothyronine tablets) may sometimes raise blood sugar. Talk with your doctor about how to keep your blood sugar under control.

Check your blood sugar as you have been told by your doctor.
