[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1651413, member: 355878"] I suspect that I have been diabetic for a long time. I was diagnosed with a defunct thyroid a long time ago, but I have had my own household since I was 18 - we could do that back in the 1970s, so what I ate was down to me. I have a BSc, but even when doing A level Biology I have been suspicious about the way Humans were eating. A spell in the food industry only confirmed what I thought. Takeaway food is far more about profit margins than any thought of nutrition - cheap to produce is great, leave it up to the advertising department to hook onto something as a selling point - and if it can be labelled as healthy, all the better. Once you have been taking a thyroid supplement for a while - it has to be increased slowly as it can cause palpitations if started off too high, you should feel a lot better, and combined with the reduction in weight which Thyroxine or whatever you are on and eating as low carb as you can should produce - increased exercise helps too, which both those make easier, so with any luck your life should change for the better in the near future.
