Hello Everyone ,
Below are the latest blood test results. (25 May 2024).
I have an appointment with my endo tomorrow morning.
I am currently on 100mcg Levothyroxine and 10 mcg T3 (Thybon Henning)
Fasting blood sample taken in the morning (9am) .
Levothyroxine taken after blood draw.
T3 taken 8 hours before (1am). Blood form advised to take 4hrs before the blood draw.
Now, the day before I forgot to split my T3 dose. I just took 10mcg T3 and 100mcg T4 the day before. I don't know if that actually had an impact on the T3 results below.
Stopped Igenuss Super B complex 3 days before but continued with Magnesium.
1. TSH 0 .27 mIU/L (0.27 - 4.2)
2. Free T4 19.1 pmol/L (12.0 - 22.0)
3. FT3 7.1 pmol/L [3.1 - 6.8] => This is outside the range.
4. Fasting Insulin 6.9 mIU/L less than 10
5. Creatine 111 umol/L 59-104
6. LDL 3.6 mmol/L Upto 3.0
7. Non-HDL Cholesterol 4.1 mmol/L < 3.8
8. HDL Cholesterol 0.8 mmol/L 0.9 - 1.5
Can someone please comment on my T3 being too high?
Is it because I should have split the dose the day before and I didn't.
I'm just worried my endo might reduce the T3. If he does want to reduce it, what should I tell him?
I could suggest to my endo that I do a repeat test in 3 months's time.
On the positive side, my fasting insulin is now within range. That's good news.
For others who are interested:
- I cut out sugar (in coffee/tea), biscuits, cakes, sweets, desserts, chocolates, ice-creams, alcohol from April 2024.
- Keeping an eye on my portion sizes for carb intake (rice, bread etc)
- Exercise (walking, running, swimming (recently)
- Home-cooked food and avoiding take-aways.
I did take this for a month: cytoplan.co.uk/blood-glucos...
It's hard to say if this helped.
Is there anything else I should clarify with my endo?
Thank you.
