I had done my T3/T4/TSH test 4 days back My T3 is 102 ng/dl T4 is 9.2 & TSH is 6.05 I had been taking eltroxin 50 mcg for over 1 year. I had not taken the medicine 2 days before the test. What should be my new dose? I had to do the test since I was not at all feeling well when I was taking the dose. What should I do?

You need to increase thyroxine dose. Normally increament is done with 12.5 to 25 mcg dose. TSH takes around 6-8 weeks to reflect change after thyroxine dose increament. It is advisable to consult your diabetologist or endocrinologist before dose increament.
