This is what is was told by the endocrinologist at my 1st appointment. I would seriously ask about this. Though to warn you this will involve being on thyroid tablets for the rest if your life too but this would stabilise your thyroid which would help control your blood sugars on that side.What tablets are you taking for hyperthyroidism? I have to take carbimozle. I also take antihistamine as it makes my skin lumpy and extremely itchy all over yes all over. Its very embarrassing when in public i can assure you. I'm sure this also affects my blood sugars.The NHS needs to look at other medication that diabetics  may have to take.I will call my endocrinologist on monday and ask why you have not been offered an operation or radiotherapy. I know every person and patient is different so they can not give me an exact. It might let me know where you stand. If you want me to i can ask?I do feel for you mate.Sent from my SM-G935F using <a href="http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=67" target="_blank">Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app</a></blockquote>
