Always do the test in the same reliable lab. Well controlled hypothyroidism should have a value of 2.5 miu/l.the fasting levels willalways be higher. What I suggest is 50 mcg of thyronorm daily and take a fasting sample always. Donot stop thyronorm optimum dose during pregnancy. You will have normothyroid cute baby.

Dear lybrate-user I can understand your situation 4 times a prick will be very painful, I really need few more blood sugars levels so that I can actually help you. And keeping your age and long standing diabetes we do have better insulin which will help reduce blood sugars, with no hypoglycemia.

Hi. 4.4 is high during pregnancy. Cut off is <4 in pregnancy. U should start taking thyronorm as advised by your doctors. There are not much side effects with such a low dose of tablet thyronorm and it is safe to use for you and your baby. Every 1 -2 months you should test your tsh till delivery and based on your test the dose will be adjusted. We stop the tablet after delivery and 6 weeks later repeat tsh. If itâs normal no need to take any tablet further.
