Graves disease is diagnosed through blood tests. There are specific tests required TSH, FT3,FT4 and TRAB/TSI. You will be sent to see an endocrinologist who will ask for an U/Sound of your thyroid to see if it is enlarged and to see if there are any nodules.

I was diagnosed by blood tests and a check up with my family doctor. There are also a thyroid uptake scan to aid in diagnosis of this disease. Graves is an ongoing disease that does need a good endocrinologist to get better.
