Hi,
His insulin and blood glucose are to be monitored regularly. These two are crucial. TPO levels suggest Hashimoto, but if levels of TSH are normal then hypothyroid in control. Monitor them at least once every 3 months at the beginning, then half-yearly. Nutritionist and endocrinologist are to be consulted regularly. Once this kid must attend art of living art excel or medha yoga or utkarsh yoga for kids programme, as it will help in bringing all lifestyle modifications needed, and to bring activity required in day. It will give few breathing exercises for thyroid and pancreas.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
