I've been on thyroid meds for several years now (Levothyroxine).
My PCP would never give me the actual numbers of my thyroid levels but this last time they were checked, it was done by my endo.
Here are the results he sent me:
Free T4 was 0.69--------> endo says normal.
Free T3 was 2.30--------> endo says low.
TSH was 15.93-------> endo says high.
Thyroid activity ---------> too low
My A1C has risen and I'm wondering if my thyroid levels were affecting this.
(Yes Duck, I need to remember to take my med every day).
BTW, I have no understanding of what these thyroid numbers mean. Can anyone explain them? What are the normal ranges?
