Thyroid Function And Blood Sugar Problems? Posted: 08-02-07 18:45pm
When I was 8, I was diagnosed with
hypoglycemia (now they tell me
pre-diabetic?), put on a special diet etc.
At 19, I was diagnosed with thyroid
cancer, and no longer have a thyroid. My
endocrinologist said there was a
possibility that the two were related or
that maybe I had thyroid problems all
along (I was very sick and did not really
understand what he was saying)?
Anyway, I have to have a full metabolic
panel done annually after my scan. Blood
sugar levels always come up low. I am not
surprised, they always have.
(Except once during pregnancy, which I
still don't understand...) I guess what I
am asking is how do the two things
interact? What is my metabolism doing? I'm
pretty sure I was supposed to ask my
primary care doc all of this, but I don't
get the opportunity to see her much.
