How do I fine tune my Hydrocortisone replacement dosing?

My body isn’t making cortisol so I am taking hydrocortisone to make up for the cortisol. I think my body needs more then the prescribed dose or spread out more during the day. I’m also having hypoglycemia symptoms when my body is stressed which seems to be linked to the need for cortisol.

Hello, there is a newer, extended-release version of oral hydrocortisone available. It is intended specifically for cases i=of insufficient cortisol.
Perhaps you can ask your endocrinologist if it is appropriate for you?
