Question

What will happen if my sugar level is always above 300?

I've been taking Thyronorm 125 for a while since my TSH was really high at 43. Lately, my TSH levels are back to normal, but now my T4 levels are higher than they should be. I'm just wondering what this might mean? Should I be worried about these changes?

Question
