Insulin Resistance Correlate with High T3 and High T3 Many Induce Insulin Resistance
I have searched for some RP comments on this and cannot find any so I am figuring that it is BS or I did not search properly.
I just started on T3 only on Monday and as of 5 months ago I had good Hemoglobin Alc at 5.3 consistent with the absence of diabetes according to the lab. Not over weight and no smoking or drinking.
So to night I had some carbs gluten free noodles, egg plant, and some tomato sauce. Almost immediately after I finished eating I felt very tired, run down, and both of my kidneys hurt. I checked my 5 min resting pulse the range was 67-73 and my temp was 98.0 and that is better than previous to T3 only at 97.4. Because my pulse and temp where ok but not perfect I did not think that it was quite dosing time and something else was at play.
Sorry if this is a stupid questions but I did not know if their was any validity to what this site/lady was saying that "High T3 Many Induce Insulin Resistance".
Probably just hypo paranoia lol...
Some more of what she is said..
"Since insulin resistance is affected by thyroid hormone levels, a comparison was made between the T3/rT3 ratios of insulin resistant and insulin sensitive subjects. The T3/rT3 ratio was significantly higher in insulin resistant subjects, who had a higher proportion of T3 to rT3. [9] Since a high ratio is actually the goal of the T3-only protocol, and quite a few on the protocol notice their blood glucose rising, one might ask if the protocol itself is inducing the insulin resistance.
A suppressed TSH (below the reference range or close to zero) is also correlated with higher insulin levels, insulin resistance, and lower insulin sensitivity when compared to control subjects, even though Free T4 and T3 may be within the reference range. Insulin resistance, as measured by HOMA-IR, showed a positive relationship with T3 levels throughout the whole sample population of both controls and those on thyroid replacement. In other words, as T3 rose, so did insulin resistance."
