Can too much thyroid hormone cause high blood glucose?!
Question:
Can too much thyroid hormone cause high blood glucose?
My tsh was .12 (hyperthyroid) but blood glucose was 100, Seems odd that it's obvious I have to low of a tsh reading and now sugar is higher. Never had high sugar until this.
Answers:
well 100 is not exactly hyper-glycemic! it's just around the high limit! about the TSH level: exces of thyroid hormones is indeed a couse of high blood sugar! these hormones accelerate all basic metabolisms: proteic, sugra and fats. it makes your body transform glycogen(the way glucose is stored) into circulating glucose. TSH is not a thyroid hormone it's a hormone secreted by your pituitary gland that causes your thyroid to secrete it's hormones. when T3 and T4 thyroid hormones raise, by meand of feed-back, it makes your TSH levels go down. that is how you can explain: low TSH, high thyroid hormones, and higher blood sugar.
hope this helps!!! best of luck!
