Busterbill, many, but not all, thyroid issues can be auto-immune (A-I) related, and of course once you have one A-I) condition you become a bit more likely to develop another.

Lots of folks on here have thyroid issues, so I'm sure T1 folks will respond in due course.

I know my T1 mother did, but you took medication and was fine. I won't be surprised if I have issues eventually....

Yes, I know from experience that a developing over-active thyroid can cause varying BS levels. I hope you have had a blood test to check this slready. If not, you need one asap.
