Do I need to be concerned about low FT4

I’m on NP Thyroid and feel good on this dose, but the Medichecks doc doesn’t like my FT4 being slightly under range. Can someone remind me, isn’t it the FT3 that’s more important when on NDT?

They're both important but not everybody needs a lot of T4. And if you feel well on your dose, that's the main thing. Never mind the Medichecks doctors. They don't know much about it, anyway. They're just common or garden GPs, not thyroid specialists. Really not worth asking for their comments. :)
