Blood sugar imbalances are common in people with Hashimoto’s due to being at higher risk for spikes in blood sugar, followed by reactive hypoglycemia after eating a carbohydrate-rich meal.

Thyroid hormones play a significant role in metabolism, energy storage, and production.

When thyroid hormones are too low or insulin levels considerably fluctuate, the body becomes stressed. The adrenal glands release stress hormones like cortisol. When your body experiences high cortisol levels, it can increase inflammation, heightening the immune system’s activity.

When you get tested, it’s always recommended to request a metabolic panel that includes your A1C, fasting insulin, and glucose to keep tabs on your #bloodsugar.
