please give following details: weight, height, waist circumference, fasting and pp (current) and hba1c%. Pioglitazone was banned only briefly, now it is available. Still better not to use. After I get all the details I would be able to guide. Your sugar levels now look good. But please give all the details.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
You have T2 DM, (not T1). It is good to know that HbA1c% has come down to 6.9, that shows good control. You have to continue the same treatment and lifestyle.
As regards TSH level if it has not come down, then there is a need for increasing the dosage of Levothyroxine from 25 mcg to 50 mcg per day. Then check TSH after 6 weeks to see what is the impact. TSH should be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L, at which all the symptoms of hypothyroidism will be in check....more

If possible medically, get hip replacement surgery and control of diabetes by drugs, exercise and diet restrictions all togather.
