Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have gone through the details given. Your C- peptide level is with in the normal limits. Which also means there is normal insulin production.
Why are you taking Azithral 250 mg as well as Ciplox 250 mg? Why two antibacterial agents?
Since you are on treatment for hypothyroidism with 100 mcg of levothyroxin it is essential to maintain TSH level between 3 to 4 mU/L, then only all the symptoms related to hypothyroidism are under control.
Remylin and Vit D are basically vitamin supplements. Usually given as nonspecific nutritional supplements. However, most important is your TSH level. Thanks.
