Hello, I'm so happy to find this community. I'm a mother of 2 and have been down a very long sick road mainy with Thyroid issues. Sometimes I'm Hypo and sometimes I'm Hyper. But whats worse, now my Endo says I have type 1. Just going on symptoms and waiting for blood work results this week. Well I have them. I've been so upset since she told me, I have to sweet babies and it feels like I was given a death outcome or some horrible problem like heart or losing my limbs. Crying doesnt help but It seems like I, with all my thyroid issues wont survive this or live a happy life with my children.
For years my glucose has been borderline high, fasting at the highest 109 and then I started to eat better. I'm in shape (so I thought) small, and was always athletic. But then, during my pregnancy with my son I had gestational diabetes. the last month I did shots. After the birth, it was tested and seemed fine.
Now, my symptoms are mostly random nausea, sometimes vomiting (rare) fatigue, exhaustion, a ton of stomach issues. mostly around my period time. I sometimes would be up peeing constantly but I'm a very anxious person and feel like I'm overwhelmed with health issues that keep me up. I started taking a magnesium supplement and sleep better.
when my fasting glucose was around 105-109 my doctor started me on metformin. but I wasnt great at taking it. My female hormones are a mess, so now I'm on natural progesterone and testosterone. My periods are a mess and I cant leave the house.
Blood work was FASTING
TSH -0.25 very low
FASTING GLUCOSE -92
FASTING INSULIN 1.8 to low (wasnt taken until noon) was starving
HEMOGLOBIN A1C -5.6 NORMAL
C-PEPTIDE 0.83 ON THE LOWER SIDE BUT IN RANGE
ALL CBC WAS NORMAL
MICROALBUMIN, RANDOM URINE (W/CREATININE) WAS NORMAL AT- 180
Just wanted to have someone elses experience and kind of wanted to know what to expect with these results. Does my low end c-peptide mean my pancreas is going to get lower and stop? Is my Insulin low because I didnt eat and it was by noon that they took my blood? What does others A1C look like that have Type 1?
I just dont want to cry all day, want to know what to expect, I'm so scared for my children, will insulin injections help my fatigue or is it my low thryroid??
PLEASE, ANYBODY OFFER INFORMATION
THANKS
