How long can you go without thyroid medication?

The half-life (time taken for amount of drug in your body to be reduced by half) of levothyroxine is 6 - 7 days in euthyroid, 9 - 10 days in hypothyroid and 3 - 4 days in hyperthyroid. So, it would take few weeks for your body to get rid of the thyroid medication. But you may start to experience symptoms within first week of not taking medication. Moreover, once you restart the medication it will take 3 - 5 days for it to start the action and almost few weeks to reach maximum effect. In all this time, you need to suffer from the symptoms. Hence, it's safer to take medications regularly and monitor thyroid levels.

I'm a bit confused about my blood glucose levels. My fasting sugar came out higher than my reading two hours after eating. It was 155 fasting and 139 after a meal. At one point, my fasting level was 200, and a few days later, it dropped to 155. Why would my fasting sugar be higher than after a meal? Is this something to worry about?

It is not uncommon for blood glucose levels to be higher in the morning (fasting) compared to after a meal. This is due to the dawn phenomenon, where hormones released in the early morning hours cause blood sugar levels to rise. Additionally, if you had a high-carbohydrate meal the night before, it can also contribute to higher fasting blood sugar levels. To help manage your blood sugar levels, you can consider taking Metformin. It helps to improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
