About 2 months ago I went to a new Dr complaining of hypothyroid symptoms. I have had the symptoms for years but nobody would listen and test me. I would say I struggled with symptons since my teens but in the past 3 yrs it has worsened. So finally found a Dr willing to listen and run a full thyroid panel. To weeks later I was told yes, I am hypothyroid oh and by the way also diabetic. My a1c was 6.5 and fasting glucose 152. So I was told to stay away from carbs/sugar and will retest in a few weeks from now. I bought a meter and strips and have been testing fasting and 2 hrs after meals. So far my fastings have been around 114 give or take and 2 hours after meals under 120. I also walk 3 milesa day. So I guess diet and exercise controlled. With the thyroid meds I have lost 17 pounds and still going. I have another at least 30 to go.
