Hi. I am new to this site and am not diabetic but I do have some questions. I wonder could anyone advise me please?
Probably best I put in point form lol to summarise!
1. I am on SEROQUEL (8OOMG daily currently) since either 2007 or 2008. I read somewhere online that some mental health conditions are more at risk of diabetes and I was curious. aLSO ON sERTRALINE (200MG DAILY CURRENTLY).In August a urine sample revealed glucose at GPs cos Id thought id u.t.i. cos of frequent urination.fasting blood sugar was fine.can reasons other than diabetes present glucose in urine?
2. Have had hypothyroidism diagnosed at 2months old (yes,not a misprint).My Mum told me it was autoimmune reason caused complete failure of gland.(on 200mg daily currently). As an adolescent mum says GP told her there was link between that and diabetes.Incidentially most of my Mothers aunts had overactive thyroid Im only one hypothyroid (just to be awkward!!). My two questions on this issue are; Ive heard of diabetics more at risk of thyroid problems but is same true vice versa? Also was always curious about environmental link to either of above.
3. Finally (!!!) while I am grateful re current meds just to stay on even keel I do find it hard to lose weight and have erratic moods and eating habits,when Im good Im very good but then I eat too much. I try to stay focused n walk dog n started pilates n weightwatchers but its two steps forward 5 back.I used to be determined person but right now not so focused.
Thankyou very much for taking time to read this. I realise its lots of questions but I dont want to take up GP's time to look into all and I have searched online but havent found specifically answers related to those meds and/or link between hypothyroidsim and then risk of diabetes.
Yours sincerely Kate
