Default Armour Thyroid

Hi!!

I have just been back to see my low carb friendly GP after my first initial consultation with him 5 weeks ago.

I got all my test results back and everything is normal - except for a strange finding with my glucose-insulin tolerance test, which showed normal insulin levels but VERY low blood glucose levels after 1 and 2 hours!

However, I have not lost anything at all on Atkins induction - and I did it religiously for 3 weeks.

So, even though my thyroid levels were only on the very slightly low side, the doctor has prescribed Armour Thyroid and chromium picolinate and he has taken me off Atkins and put me onto a low glycemic index based diet.

Is there anyone here that can tell me anything about these drugs and their actions? I am about at my wits end with diets because NONE of them seem to work with me, but NOTHING seems to wrong with my metabolism!!

Lottie
