Hi Beth!
I'm not real sure. I know that seasonal changes can affect your thyroid from what I've read.
I can't recall if my gluc was affecting my levels or not. Mine fluctuated quite a bit for awhile, but it was because of my breakfast cereal.

Now that I take it at night, I'm fine. I'm back on gluc so we'll see.
I lurk a lot on the Russian adoptions boards on another site. Seems like things are picking up just a little bit. I hope it continues so you get your referral soon.
