Hypothyroidism?
When I eat a little sugar (like a mini frosted cupcake) it causes a huge sugar crash, like I need to nap. Is this a telltale sign of anything? I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism with my second son but it went away after my pregnancy… 8 years ago.
Oprah was talking about hypothyroidism not too long ago and I have many signs… just wondering if the sugar crash bit rings any bells with anyone. Thanks in advance!
The sugar crash doesn’t seem to go with hypothyroidism, but it could indicate insulin resistance or diabetes. Testing fasting glucose and fasting insulin should tell if that’s the case.
Seeing you had hypothyrodism during pregnancy, you are probably at risk for developin the condition. A morning blood test of TSH, Free T4, Free T3, and a thyroid antibody test should give you some answers.
