Hi again,
First I'd strongly recommend you to go definitely to the specialist endocrinologist.
S/he probably should do a clinical check-up, further blood tests and other relevant examinations for evaluating your actual situation. As per the results, s/he will change or modify the current treatment and will advise you further.
Hope to have been helpful.
