I am a finance professional having desk job. I was diagnosed diabetic in sep'16 and maintain HBA1c 6.3 to 6.7 since then. I am taking Carbophage 500xr once in morning with BF. In Jan'18, my body detected TSH (hypothyroidism) 18.62 and started thyrox 25 MCG since then. Every quarter I do blood test and maintaining TSH less than 5. Recently, on 24th Aug'18, my TSH was 5.44. My body is now giving all symptoms of high TSH. My question is shall I increase the dose to 37. 5 MCG?

AS your TSH is high now you need to increase the dose of thyronorm and as time goes by the the power of thyroid will decrease and may need to increase the dosage
