[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 226378, member: 31282"] I have an underactive thyroid which doesn't ever show in my tests, but I had all the symptoms - tired, depressed, thinning hair, dry skin, etc etc. I managed to persuade my GP to treat the person not the figures, and am now taking 100mg of Levothyroxine daily - and feel so much better! This started with me a while before I was diagnosed with diabetes. There is another recent thread on here where someone more knowledgeable than me said that diabetes/thyroid/adrenals are all inter-related and that it is not unusual for hypothyroidism to go with Type 2. Even if you have to take meds it should have no effect on your BG levels - or not in my experience anyway. All I have to do is take one pill as soon as I get up - not a problem, and no side-effects! Have a look at the British Thyroid Association (Society ?) web-site - it's very helpful. And don't worry! :D Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
