Thyroid and Diabetic

[Choosehealth]

Is Thyroid and Diabetic related? I am taking thyroid tablet along with my insulin and other tablets. I have a review in 2 weeks, if my A1bc level reduces, will they stop my insulin or will they ask me to continue.?

Please advice...!

hmmm are you counting your carbs???

as diabetic you should count ur carbs... are you type 1 or type 2 diabetic???

[Choosehealth in reply to cure]

Type 2

have u ever checked your own insulin production????

since you are on insulin therapy.... you may go for c peptide test... and understand your own insulin production..... based on that u may reduce ur carbs consumption to remain medicine free....or with minimum medicines....

@ choose health...No need to depress.... pls follow low carb food... your blood sugar will come down...then you can be off on insulin.... present insulin is to bring your sugar to a reasonable level,and then you can stop insulin.... this can happen early... if you can follow low carb food and then LCHF lifestyle... This can reduce your tablets too... Many here have done this....you can search LCHF recepes here and on dlife.in. I am 65,and diabetic for 25 years,maintaining A1c 5.8....by following LCHF,with very low diabetic medicines...Best wishes! you can share your present diet here and get guidance...and really choose your health...

@ choose health...There is close relationship between hypothyroidism and diabetes... hence control BS....Also take thyroid medicines regularly, on empty stomach with glass of water... ( ample water must), don't eat any thing for half an hour after this medicine.Check regularly T1,T2,TSH levels and adjust medication dosage...

Yes I would keep posting on it

If you stop the insulin therapy, the blood sugar level will raise. You can reduce the dosage of insulin at the rate of 2 units in relation to your blood sugar level. It may happen that you may inject more insulin when you have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or less insulin when you have hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).

Both diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism are endocrine disorders and are considered to be inter-related. A higher frequency of retinopathy and nephropathy was observed in diabetic patients with subclinical hypothyroidism, and more severe retinopathy was noted as well. Therefore, management of subclinical hypothyroidism in patients with diabetes may prove beneficial.
