Hi to all,
I was dignosed as T2 about 4 years ago. It was all a bit traumatic at the time - I went into hospital with with a b/g reading of 30.1 (in old money) - but I've rallied and have had it under control for about 3 years now with just diet. Generally, my HbA1c have been 55 to 58 during this time.
Suddenly, in my last tests, I have developed a hyperthyroid condition (overactive thyroid). I say developed, the numbers have shot up from about 16 to 34 (anything over 24 is overactive). I feel awful frankly. Tired and shaky.
My cholesterol levels have always been up but HDL high too. Overall Cholesterol now down but manly due to HDL s falling. Current HbA1c is now 6.3!
I've lost about 1kg in the last week and now weigh about 53 kg.
My GP has put me on meds and is making an app for me to see an endocrinologist. I'm wondering if I have a pituitary gland condition.
Anyone else had similar problems? I'd be very pleased to hear any comments.
