Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details. It is good to know that her diabetes and hypothyroidism are very well controlled. In fact at 69 years, TSH level around 5 to 6 mU/L is considered as quite normal. Bringing it lower (as it is with her) is really not advised as it can increase the risk of heart rate increase or rise in BP. So let her reduce the dosage to 25 mcg per day. Then check the TSH after 6 weeks to see if it is with in the limit. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
