I am not diabetic.

I follow the belief that anything over 140 can cause nerve damage. I keep mine below that, at the 1 hour after first bite rule, which means I follow a low carb diet of below 30 carbs a day.

I am hypothyroid.

I definately have more flare ups on days when I cheat and eat too many carbs.

Have you considered natural hormone vs the synthetic??? A great wealth of info is at www.stopthethyroidmadness.com

I am on perscription nature-throid and not only is my tsh better but free T3 and T4 numbers are good too, which is something synthetics sometimes do not help.

thank you stacy 2012.
No, I do not know much about the nature-troid. Natural hormone? I have taken Synthroyd for years.
I am not a diabetic eighter, have no symptoms of it, and have always had normal Fasting glucose, when ever tested routinly.

but now I hear from you and others, that it is a good idea to monitor the glucose even for non diabetics due to the nerve effects in neuropathy.

So thanks .
I did check out the link you posted.

I keep my glucose lower than 120 as far as I have ever seen. I like to keep it as level as I can so nerves can heal. I test one hour after eating. I do not have diabetes.

I bought a monitor also. It just gave me a clear view of which foods to avoid. Now that I have that, I don't use it much anymore, but it is a great tool for sure.

Yes, Nature-throid is the natural desicated hormone but you do need a dr/perscription for it. It is not always easy to find dr that will prescribe it....too many dr's use the standard synthetic synthroids without learning more. Just like the B12 testing is outdated, so is the tsh and thyroid testing...dr's simply don't know the facts and trust that stupid tsh number.
