valerie...the other day on our phone consult you suggested i get some blood work on claire my 18 yr old ....she is currently on..1 grain NT, with 12.5, 12,5, 12.5 ,12.5 of T3

her blood pressure was 177/68 her pulse was like 68 i think...she is very fit and athletic

her basal temps the last 2 days at 730 am have been only 97.7

here is blood work....what do you think she needs to do...she leaves for college in 1.5 weeks...

Iron serum....132 (35-155)

TIBC.....256 (250-450)

UIBC...Low....124 (150-375)

Iron Saturation....52 (15-55) %

Ferritin...112 (13-150)

Glucose fasting....88 (so this clears a concern about insulin resistance correct??)

FT3....4.9 (2.3-5.0)

hope you can direct me so i can send her off up to speed...

thanks so much >..Dawn
