Hi,
So following my last post regarding my thyroid I’m going through some testing at the moment and should have results today.
I’ve noticed since I’ve become aware of the thyroid issue that my levels have become increasingly difficult to manage as the weeks have gone on. I expect stress and worrying for results could be a factor to this.
but it’s very difficult lately to keep my sugar below 10 for any long periods of time. It’s almost like my insulin doesn’t do its job as effectively as before, I’ve played with my doses just to try and combat the highs (sometimes being 30mmol) which can be very frightening. It seems I’ve had an
Increase of hypo’s though, especially at night so I was told to lower my dose slightly but now I wake rarely below 10.
Anyone with thyroid issues experienced trouble keeping their levels stable and within range? Will this change and become more manageable once I start thyroid treatment? I’ve didn’t even bother with breakfast this morning as I woke up at 18mmol, even with a correction, exercise and no breakfast I’m still only down at 10mmol 3 hours later.
I’ve spoken to my doctor and he said for me to just do what I can until my results are in but I’m just getting so easily frustrated with the sugar swings.
