[QUOTE="azure, post: 1207915, member: 39639"] Hi [USER=316002]@Anna_4321[/USER] :) I second [USER=30007]@tim2000s[/USER] 's suggestion about a repeat of the thyroid test. I don't have thyroid issues and I'm not a medical professional, but I do remember that hair loss and sensitivity to the cold were both symptoms a family friend had before being diagnosed with thyroid problems. She's fine now :) It might not be that at all, but a follow up test sounds sensible. I can understand you worrying about Type 1 because of your mum. Your 5.3 does look normal. That should reassure you. For me, the first signs of Type 1 I got were a dreadful thirst and very frequent urination. Then I lost a lot of weight very quickly. This wasn't normal weight loss, it was quite shocking. I'm not sure what other tests the doctor did. I presume you were tested for things like anaemia? If you continue to have problems and just don't feel right, it may help to keep a diary of your symptoms to see if you can spot any pattern eg with the nausea eg is it in response to certain foods, your hormones, eating breakfast late, etc. [/QUOTE]
