Morning everyone - I’ve got a cold lurgy think I’ve been up all night with daughter coughing now me!
I’m back to being exasperated by doctors every time I think I have a sensible question I get told oh definitely not then I do a bit of google and it seems I was right all along.
Diagnosed hypo 1year after my daughter was born. TSH stable with 100mg Mon-Fri and 75mg Sat and Sun. have had PTSD related to her birth prob what triggered thyroid issues and what I now think was prob depression.
Blood sugar regulation has always been tricky for me since a child needing to eat little and often before feeling faint - same diet as family no one else with this need.
X2 miscarriages 2018 endocrinology referral flagged as pre diabetic.
Any clue about link between hypo and pre diabetes? Keen to reverse pre diabetes quick but now thinking that might be more difficult with hypothyroid if they are linked. My sugars have been dodgy for ages only endo flagged it up as abnormal GP surgery hasn’t for years!
I’ll post same in diabetes forum. I have been on metformin but gastric symptoms were horrid came off it and put 11lbs on albeit over Christmas do I go on slow release metformin or long term is that not helpful? I’m happy to do quirky diet changes etc with or without metformin anyone slightly alternative I see says no to metformin but traditional doctors support it - I’m just confused don’t want to start it and regret later.
Amy comments appreciated
