Does anyone know if there is a connection between hypothyroidism and T2DM?

[QUOTE="gardengnome42, post: 1603858, member: 114214"] My 49 year old son has hypothyroidism and takes thyroxin. He doesn't live in the Uk so I only know what he has told me but I understand about 15years ago he had Hyperthyroidism and this was treated successfully. Then hypothyroidism kicked in. He does struggle with his weight and does have a large waist line which is probably down to the thyroid problem as he doesn't eat an enormous amount.. Now he tells me that his thyroid doc has told him that he will soon develop diabetes. I know no more than that but presume that he has been given an HbA1c test alongside the thyroid tests. I have no idea what his numbers might be and he doesn't seem to know either. I don't actually think he realises how important this is although I have stressed the point. Could this be attributed to the thyroid problem or not? [/QUOTE]
