Goldilocks, remember that story? One bowl of porridge was too hot, one bowl too cold. She finally found the one that was just right.
Well, I've found the "too hot" and "too cold" bowls... still looking for the "just right" bowl -- at least in terms of my thyroid dosages.
I suspect once the thyroid meds are "just right" I will either find that I actually DO have a slight glucose problem. Hypothyroid can make your glucose levels low, hyperthyroid makes them high. I was hypothyroid before and my glucose levels ran into the 70-80's, when I am hyperthyroid they're hitting sometimes as high as 120.
Yeah, I might ask my doctor about the Metformin once my thyroid levels are right, if the BG stays high.
Meanwhile, I'll stick with the BHCL and see if it just needs more time to work. If nothing else, I love it for how it calms my gut down.
