Hello everyone, I was diagnosed 6 weeks ago sort of by accident. I have thyroid cancer and had my thyroid removed at the end of March. Ever since it was removed I have had an unquenchable thirst and blurred vision which I had put down to being without a thyroid. When I had bloods tested for my thyroid the nurse noticed my very high glucose levels. On diagnosis my levels were 14.7 or 135 mmols. I was given metformin but after taking these for 6 weeks the levels have increased to 15.7 or 148. I now have glyclazide instead to take.
Does anyone have experience of such high levels and if so what was taken to bring them down?
