Why is my TSH level suddenly dropping so low to 0.014? My HbA1c is at 8.5 and everything else, like my BP and cholesterol, seem normal. I'm a bit worried about the low TSH. Is there a way to increase it? What steps should I take?

I'm a bit worried about my recent thyroid function test results. They did the tests on 04062016 and my T3 level came back as 1.09 ngml, which I know falls somewhere within the normal 0.72-2.02 ngml range. But here's where I get confused my T4 was 8.38 ugdl and TSH was 5.61 uIUml. I understand that T4 seems to be okay within the normal 4.3-12.5 ugdl range, but my TSH level is above the normal 0.4-4.2 uIUml range. Do you think I should start medication based on these results? I'm anxious about what this might mean for my health.

I'm a bit concerned because after taking Dulcoflex tablets, I've noticed that I'm urinating a lot more throughout the day and I'm also experiencing some weight loss. Could you help me figure out what's going on and suggest an alternative or a better approach?

I recommend you stop taking it. Instead, you can try using Senokot tablets. Take 1-2 tablets at bedtime as needed for constipation. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you continue to experience high urine output and weight loss, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
