Hypoglycemia? Thyroid? Please Help!

[Ksmith]

Hey everyone,

So i've been taking my temp. in the mornings for a few days. My temp has been at 97.8 plus or minus .1 degree. I thought, okay, that seems okay. But then I figured I'd take my temp. during the time of day that I I start feeling ill, usually around 2:30 or 3pm. Here's my temp. profile for two days:

Day1

time temp

6:30 97.7

11:30 98

5:00 97.3

7:30 97.6

11:00 97.8

Day 2

6:30 97.8

11:00 98

2:30 97.3

4:00 97.9 I ate some food right before I took this temp.

Can your temp. change due to hypoglycemia? Is it possible that is what happens in the afternoons for me? It's weird that my temps. are lower during the middle of the day rather thanin the mornings. Please help! Thanks everyone!

Based on your waking temperature, it does not look like you have a thyroid issue.

There is a way you can check your adrenal function based on the temp. throughout the day, but I do not know how that's done.

I have never heard of temp. being a diagnostic tool for hypoglycemia.

Kiara, That could be adrenal fatigue. Most Drs are not trained to test for that and only recognise adrenal failure. Saliva testing from www.canaryclub.com or some others can test for that and you can order that yourself. The 4 x a day panel is most accurate. There are also some checks on the stopthethyroidmadness that seem to work. I think Dr Rind has a good web page too.
