[QUOTE="mcs, post: 208172, member: 12"] Has anyone noticed an increased in glucose readings, specifically fasting glucose, after taking any thyroid replacement meds for some time (i.e. Armour, Synthroid, etc.)? According to this article, "The levothyroxine elevated the patient’s blood sugar to the point where hypoglycemia resolved and thyroid levels improved. The medical commentary and interpretation was that the levothyroxine normalized (elevated) the blood sugar because the thyroid was under functioning. On the first read through, the levothyroxine seems to be the cure because of faulty thyroid function. However, if you think about this from the context of levothryoxine raising blood sugar as a side effect, it creates a different spin. " [URL='https://www.wellnessresources.com/news/thyroid-meds-increase-risk-for-elevated-blood-sugar']Thyroid Meds Increase Risk for Elevated Blood Sugar[/URL] Another factor: some of the inactive ingredients in these meds may also be causing or contributing to increased glucose levels. Armour has dextrose, NP Thyroid has dextrose + maltodextrin, Synthroid has lactose. All these are high glycemic substances known to cause insulin resistance. Anecdote: Fasting BG was 98 before taking morning dose of NDT; water only no other food or supplements. 45 min. after it was 115. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
