My article's been accepted by Patient Safety Learning It seems to be resonating with many hypothyroid pts sadly. Please share to raise awareness of the need for improved diagnosis and treatment of this chronic poorly treated illness. You can read in full here rdcu.be/el9CM



Endocrine Today Richard Pratley MD Heart in Diabetes 🫀 Yehuda Handelsman MD FACP, FNLA, FASPC, FAHA, MACE Why is thyroid disease overlooked? Why are we dismissed as needing personalised treatment? Why are thyroid patients allowed just 1 treatment, when diabetes medicine has so many alternatives? Without the right treatment for us as individuals, we suffer. What about us?








Thank you Patient Safety Learning for helping to raise awareness on this important issue that is adversely affecting thousands of patients. If you are a similarly affected hypothyroid patient please share, or write to Patient Safety Learning with your own experience. Let's create change!



We followed 105 patients before and after developing hypothyroidism (on LT4). Those patients with lower T3 were at risk for dyslipidemia (47.5% vs. 27.3%); even after adjusting for confounders (adjusted OR: 3.6). Monitoring T3 levels should be considered. endocrinepractice.org/article/S1530-…
