hashimotos/4hr insulin intolerance

[Jemjet]

hi all as previous post just started 50mch levo , had a insulin intolerance test today as day case that should of been done in feb 24 but endocrinology doctor didn’t send prescription over to day ward . Finally took test today which had to be stopped half way through as my blood sugar went so low .

I suffered a few hypoglycaemia episodes and I went to ae twice on advice of 111 instruction . This was before Tpo and Tg diagnoses of hashimotos .

by the time I was eventually seen in ae blood glucose normalised so basically was not believed when finally got to see endo on 19 th Jan she shunned my terrible thyroid symptoms and hypoglycaemia episode case of She knows best as in previous post .

Can I please ask is this insulin intolerance connected to Hashimotos ?

Thank you all for all your help in finding help for my situation xx

This should improve as your dose of levothyroxine slowly increases over coming months

Meanwhile make sure you eat regularly. Carry suitable snacks with you. I use to always have a small Tupperware of mixed nuts and raisins in my bag when still hypothyroid and not on high enough dose levothyroxine

Thank you for your reply will be discussing with my gp on Friday and have all my research so will discuss results and lack of knowledge of hashimotos and related symptoms . Xx 😘
