Hello
I have an underactive thyroid that has been undertreated which has led to weight gain and a general feeling of feeling blurgh, but not unwell.
I have very recently also been told that I have type 2 diabetes .....
Maybe i am just in denial (or shock) at this news but would like to try and understand a bit more .
(Awaiting to see nurse )
I have had none of the 'normal' symptoms associated with TTD apart from tiredness , but I put this down to thyroid issues.
I just have this gut instinct (or maybe it is denial)
that maybe some how they are jumping the gun a bit .
I had a blood test in sept last year (for my thyroid) the HB1 Test show a level of 51
Was told to repeat test in Dec the level came down to 45 (no further action )
Blood test in March showed level of 51
Repeat 2 weeks later still 51.
Both of these tests were taken late afternoon
Does the time of day for testing make a difference ??
Just feel very overwhelmed .
Thank you for reading
