I have a few interesting health issues and I hope you guys can help me out because I'm pretty lost myself. I am insulin resistant, not diabetic or pre-diabetic according to my BG levels and my Hba1c on my bloodwork. How do I know that I am insulin resistant? my urine smells sweet. I also have acne, a disease that is known to be common amongst individuals with insulin resistance hence why low carb diets work well to treat it. I also suffer from Raynauds syndrome, white hair and fatigue. All symptoms of hypothyroidism. I recently had a full thyroid panel done and these are my results
TSH:1.69
T4: 6.5 ug/dL range: 4.5-12.0
T3: 93 ng/dL range: 71-180
Free T3 Serum: 2.9 pg/mL range: 2.0-4.4
Free T4 Direct: 1.39 ng/dL range: .82-1.77
Even though according to the ranges I am not clinically hypothyroid or subclinically hypothyroid, I have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Gray hairs are not common amongst my family and I have them at a very young age. Im in my 20s. Raynauds is also not common amongst my family and I did not have Raynauds until a few years ago. I also do not have any autoimmune disorders. Any ideas? Should I possibly use Natural Dessicated Thyroid or T3 to increase my levels and see how I feel?
BTW most doctors have not been of much help.
