Hi Ditto. I notice you take your Levothyroxine tab in the evening. I suffer with hypothyroidism & take Levothyroxine too.....but as advised by my GP I take it every morning. I've just re-read the information leaflet to check when to take levo.and it says best to take Levothyroxine before breakfast. Thought I'd mention this to you, but if you've been advised to take Levothyroxine in the evening then please ignore this post & accept my apologies for mentioning it. Take care

You are quite right. They told me morning too but they said take it without other medications or food, well the only time I'm not taking food and meds is before bed when I just have my last water. I've looked it up online and after reading all that gobbledygook I'm still no wiser. :D

Didn't get up till 12, when my BG was 7.2 after a mid night LO, so that was cool

B: Cappuchino
L: 3 Ryvitas with soft scrambled eggs with about a quarter teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and a thin slice of ham on each
D: Roast local beef, with locally grown Romanesco and carrot match sticks. Followed by an indulgence - a dark chocolate Tunnock's Teacake. Mea culpa

I know that looks like a T2 diet, but I'm on a low carb diet to get down to my proper fighting weight, and a new Avatar later this year.

Speaking of Avatars, has anyone else noticed that Northerners latest Avatar looks like an old lady throwing a moonie? Sure looks that way without my reading glasses on. Shh, don't worry, he hardly ever looks at this thread😉
