[QUOTE="Sunamd, post: 422323, member: 78831"] Hi all, Just thought I'd give a further update on this as I was in the Diabetic Clinic for a check up yesterday. I'll start with the good news. I got my best ever Hba1c... 5.5 I explained to the endo the problems I was having with the pain in the finger and thumb and how I have been on difene for the past 3 months. He had a look at the blood test results that have been done for me over the past year and told me that he felt my thyroid levels were a bit low (I think). He told me they were 6.7. I've looked into this and I think that figure is high but I was having a low at the time of the appointment (heat and missed lunch) so was still a little hazy while he was explaining all this to me. Long and short of it, I have managed to get an appointment to see a Rheumatologist towards the end of this month and the Endo is happier for the Rheumatologist to handle it, although he did say that he thinks it is RA :( Does anyone else have T1 and thyroid issues? Can you let me know what I might have to look forward to please? Thanks, Sunamd [/QUOTE]
