There are many reasons for having high sugar level after taking insulin such as insulin resistance, inappropriate dose of insulin, taking insulin at same site (that area may scar, which can affect how your body absorbs insulin) and dehydration.

I really need some advice on adjusting thyroid medication. Six months ago, the TSH level dropped from 8 to 6.75, so I thought it would be okay to lower the dosage from 25mcg to 12.5mcg. But now the TSH has gone up to 10.87, and I'm worried. What do you recommend for someone who's 51 years old in this situation? I'm trying to find the right balance here.
