Cortisol and hypothyroid

i was training for a marathon tht week, and on the night before my blood test, was the actual marathon (2 hours long), i came home and only had 3-4 hours of sleep, then i had to wake up and get my blood test done at 9 am. I am a confirmed Hashimoto's patient, levothyroxine made me feel worse,so my endo told me to get this blood test for my adrenals done.. (cant do saliva testing, not recognised in my country)

the results
Cortisol 17.91 mmg
DHEA-S 8.3 um/l.....(0.9 - 11.7)        
ACTH 29 pg/ml........(0 - 46)
Insulin 8.4uU/ml.......(3 - 25)


Please advise me if, i need to do a retest of these hormones. Cause i dont think my doc will put me on any treatment with these results

What are your actual thyroid hormone levels?  Free T3, Free T4 and TSH, which is only an indicator for thyroid issues.
