Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I don't see my post that I posted these labs this morning, but here they are. Iron Binding Capacity 205 Low ( 250-450) UIBC 126 Low (150-375) Iron, serum 79 (35 _155) Iron Saturation 39 (15-55) Ferritan 271 Sodium Serum 142 (135-145) Potassium ,SEreum 4.2 ( 3.5-5.2) Chloride, Serum 102 97-108) Carbon Dioxide, Total 30 (20-32) It looks like I am having a hard time using iron. Can you interrupt y labs....Thanks Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Val: Since we're testing vit. D again in June, I can quickly raise the vit. D supplement. I knew when I first found out I was deficient in vit. D it would take a while to raise it. Thanks for the insight. I mainly eat whole foods. I rarely eat processed, pre-made foods. I make everything from scratch. I would say 90% of the time I eat fruits and veggies. Basically there are no labels to read. This morning I made a green smoothie for breakfast. Lunch was burrito filling (no tortilla), just beans, cilantro, salsa, and a bit of cheese. I also had some coleslaw (vinger based dressing, not mayo based), and some carrot raisin salad. Dinner will be sloppy lentils (no bun), cole slaw, and probably roasted brussel sprouts (with olive oil and balsamic vinegar). That menu is pretty typical. But, I am struggling with eating sweets. Right now I so want to find some chocolate! That's why I had the carrot raisin salad! I really think if I break this addiction, AGAIN, the A1C will come down. I don't think I still have a meter. I'll have to get one. It would definitely be helpful. The time hasn't been wasted! I feel so much better than I did this time last year. But, I know I will feel even better in the future. Shall I keep my cynomel at 50 mcg/day, spread out in 4 doses for now? For how long? Is there any concern for the low TSH, T4, and free T4? What about rT3 being 33? How much do you want it to be? Thanks for all of your help.

I now maintina ion 5000IU a day. I get Puritain Pride 5000IU soft gels and they work finew just it takes ALOT of Vitamin D to raise from the low levels. Grains are not the only things thta affect glucose. Your A1c is bumpingon Diabetic ans definitely pre-Diabetic so you bnetter get serious with ALL carbs. Read labels! There are carbs where oyu would never dream of them. I ahve been Diabetic for abotu 4 years and now have a lovely 5.2 A1c but I am on insulin as mine was let go by my doctor just as yours is. You shouldbe on Metformin at least NOW. Low glycemic carbs do not work for me either I keep my cabrs under 70G a day. And for the first 8 months I weighed every bit of food I ate and got to knwo exactly what every food I ate did to my glucose. Get a meter if you dont; have one already. I cna help you get stabel and teach you how to use the readings and when to take them that wil be meaningful. For iron you will need 150-200mg a day od elemental iron it si ALOT but that is what it takes to raise iron levels. It is a shame all this wasted time to have to literally restart now but at least you have a reason things were not working now. -- http://nthadrenalsweb.org/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 What about the cynomel? Stick with what you recommended, 50 mcg/day? I'm spreading it out over 4 doses. How long?

SOrry but Diabetic doeting is VERY hard to do and you need ot make those carnbs you DO allow yourself count. -- http://nthadrenalsweb.org/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
