Its interesting madie, to fix adrenals a good doc will lok at pregnenolone, dhea and progesterone and get these to optimal levels and this itself can help blood sugar issues but mainly thats diet related which many say is a low carb or reduced carb diet. It takes time to work out which diet you feel comfortable with ie how much carbs and protein, some feel good just making sure they eat a good portion of protein with every meal and from there slowly back off on carbs?? but its trial and error. Sometimes when all these issues are sorted thyroid can be self corrected, if not then they look at t3/4 supps.
Armour has active thyroid t3 in it so its abit more powerful, if people test low on thyroid and feel worse treating it, this can be because of adrenal fatigue and u have low levels of cortisol and your thyroid treatment has just increased your metabolism and used up what cortisol u have too quickly. pregnenolone can help boost adrenal hormones but start low and go slow like 5 mg and use transdermal creams. Some docs may use hydrocortisone but this doesnt help the rest of the adrenal hormones but might be good to start off on. After using pregnenolone then test all hormones again as it filters down to all other hormones and directly supplement with those that are still low eg dhea etc So once u get pregnenolone and cortisol levels working you, you may not even need thyroid but if u do the armour thyroid should?? work better for you.
