Thanks for posting. It is interesting but I feel uncomfortable about any research that bases itself on monitoring of TSH alone. Having completed more than my share of these questionnaires that patients now have to complete, endlessly, and finding them asking the wrong questions, and therefore inaccurate, I have little faith. However I can see this could be useful for patients with gastro issues (a lot) and perhaps compliance issues. Still you would have to be a straightforward case, which most people joining the Forum are not.

Interesting to see what these companies are up to.

I saw that you all posted about it a couple years ago. I'm glad its advanced but not encouraging that it takes so long to get new products out for hypothyroidism. I don't care if they go by tsh during testing. What could possibly be useful is if patients could get the same results--say, a high normal t4--with less medication and side effects.

I don't have a link but read that Abbvie was working on a slow release T3.
