Diabetes and hyperthyroidism

I just came from the endocrine consultation and arrived home completely and a little overwhelmed by the news.It has been to enter through the consultation and tell me, at first glance, that it shows a lot that I have lost a lot of weight.As I am supposed to continue on the honeymoon, he asks me that if I am thirsty, she sudo or if the values ​​are uncontrolled.It is true that the last measurements are no longer as fantastic as I had after childbirth, but they are not so horrible either.These are the data of yesterday, before and after eating: 84-94 // 87-169 (I do not hize any correction, I gave my chest and my baby and went down to 152 in ten minutes. I measured it out of curiosity) // 96-153.All this just by clicking 4 units of basal insulin.When I was preparing to increase the dose of insulin, my doctor looks at the file and tells me again that if I have controlled the thyroid again and weighs me (I have lowered 5 kilos in 3 months).Total that begins to feel my neck and tells me that it will make me an echo.Indeed there are some nodules and it seems that also a hyperthyroidism that must be treated, if confirmed with the analysis that they have done to me today.So now it is no longer known if my glucose levels are being "high" because of the thyroid or for diabetes itself and that insulin does not rise.
I have the next visit to the specialist and with the diabetologist next week, who is supposed to ask him?Should I be prepared to have to take chronic thyroid medication too?Of hyperthyroidism, would it be even more complicated to normalize the glucose?

Haribita, how good that lactas to the baby!congratulations.

I was reading you and I thought that 37 years ago, when I had my first child, they did not allow me to breastfeed it, they put me an injection and no milk;With the second the same, the third caesarean section the gynecologist told me that I was not going to give me anything to "dry" the milk:-/ (that if breast cancer was at the best more prone with injection), whichHe had milk was tremendous, I was sorry to see so much wasted milk, today a woman with diabetes can breastfeed her child.Evolution of science.:)

On hyperthyroidism, to see if someone here gives you a hand.Good luck.

Si algún día te sientes pequeño, inútil ultrajado y deprimido, recuerda que un día fuiste el espermatozoide mas rápido y victorioso de tu grupo.

  

The only thing that surely is that there is a clear relationship between hypothyroidism and type 1 diabetes;And also between Celiaquia and type 1 diabetes, but I did not understand that with hyperthyroidism it could happen ...
I don't know if this will be useful hehe.

Patients with hyperthyroidism may present:

Nervousness, tachycardia, weight loss, insomnia, excessive sweating.As metabolism accelerates.Insulin is used more quickly and can worsen the control of diabetes.Treatment for hyperthyroid patients begins with medications called anti-myroids, if the patients do not respond to these can be passed to a iodine therapy in which thyroid cells are destroyed.You can even reach surgery when neither of these two alternatives works.Thyroid gland disorders are sometimes not easily diagnosed because the symptoms can be confused with mismanagement of diabetes, so the importance of taking within routine laboratories the TSH and antithyroid antibodies at least once a year ofAccording to the recommendation of the American Diabetes Association, you can make a timely diagnosis and be able to initiate the indicated treatment.

Hello Haribita

In this thread we already discussed the theme:

The glycemia figures that you put are not alarming, a high tad the post -compound but nothing crazy ... perhaps we would have to look at glycosylated hemoglobin to confirm the figures.
Probably these glycemia peaks after food can be astorers of hyperthyroidism ... one of the symptoms is to accelerate metabolism, food is processed too fast and the pancreas are forced to work faster, in your case the destruction ofInsulin reserves ... But in my opinion, blood glucose figures would be much more scandalous.

I imagine that in addition to analyzing the TSH and the T3/T4 to see hyperthyroidism they will have requested a glycosylated in the analytics you comment.

You could see insulin reserves with a C peptide test, it is a simple analytical ... although the important thing is that they discard hyperthyroidism.

If hyperthyroidism is confirmed you will have to take a daily pill, surely.

Good luck, you'll tell us.

Because in the end neither hyper-nor hypothyroidism, or rather, a little of the two ... I just learned a new disease, Hashimoto syndrome.Since I take the treatment, my sugar levels have improved a lot so it is not necessary to raise the dose of insulin and I still enjoy my honeymoon.

Well, Hashimoto's thyroiditis has a very good prognosis, he doesn't usually give a long time ... even if it is another chronic pathology
