Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Thanks for your query, but few things i want to know about you.. 1st thing - why had you underwent these tests? i mean - what is your complaints? N 2nd point, These test had done before starting treatment or you were on thyroid supplement...because if you ask me simply about your report then your TSH is absolutely normal.. you do not require treatment for any thyroid issue.. but why you had done Serum Insulin level? Is it fasting serum insulin level or random? otherwise, it is difficult to understand the things.. kindly message us regarding your symptoms in details and need more information about the test report... although , your TSH is with in normal range.. so if you are taking levothyroxine 50 mcg then you have to continue same dose.. if you are not taking anything then you don't need ...but is this your 1st thyroid profile... kindly feel free and reply.. i want to know about Why had you done serum insulin and serum cortisol?
but no need to worry... Happy to know that you are concern about your health..
