Default maybe worse

I actually think I feel worse on lipoic acid than not. I think my thyroid values seem to get lower when I take lipoic acid, and even though my doctor has looked this up, and it doesn't really make sense, it has happened twice that on the same dose of thyroid meds my T3 levels have gotten lower when I take lipoic acid and I feel worse.

They are using d-chiro for PCOS and blood sugar control. It can be almost as good as glucophage (metformin).

So indirectly it is good for diabetic patients. I've been using it for a year now, and it keeps my A1c in range.
