Hello,
If it's been awhile since you've had your thyroid checked then, I would recommend not only a TSH but also an FT4 to see if the amount of replacement you are taking is truly adequate for your needs.
I would also look at a HbA1C and fasting blood sugars to screen for possible prediabetes or diabetes itself.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
