Excellent! About time!

People getting tested for hypo should also point out to their doctors that the standard for diagnosis changed last year. Many are not aware that a lower level (TSH) is currently considered hypo than before.

Oh, I see.

Quote:
Physicians use a simple blood test, the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test, to determine if the thyroid is working properly. Previously, normal was between 0.5 and 5.0 micro units per milliliter of blood. The new guidelines, however, stipulate normal to be within a much narrower range: between 0.3 and 3.0.
