@w4cowboy I have mild hypothyroidism and also mild diabetes (no medications, A1c was 5.8 at last appointment). My PCP would be happy to manage those for me but I prefer seeing an endocrinologist. They have the most training in these conditions so know the most. I guess whether or not you see a specialist (endocrinologist) depends on how much confidence you have in your PCP. I just checked my last TSH results and they were 2.53 mIU/L, the range is 0.40 - 4.50 mIU/L so you are slightly above the range. I take a very small dose (25mcg) of levothyroxine daily.

@mri8191 Doctors are like that. When I saw my PCP in December he noted on the visit's notes that I was non-compliant because I mentioned a couple of things. This was despite my numbers being very good. Some doctors really do not understand that most people can go off the recommendations in a limited amount - keywords being limited amount. If you are not getting much exercise getting more could help for sure. If you are overweight and want to lose I highly recommend myfitnesspal.com. It really helped me to lose a lot of weight and I credit that loss with my diabetes being as controlled as it is.
