My original question - should I be treated for the Hashimotos alongside the diabetes - was because I believe I am not dealing with my issues well BECAUSE I am suffering the effects of badly controlled blood glucose and the effects of hypthyroidism. How can i get focused on my diet when my concentration is poor, my memory terrible and I am constantly exhausted?
Meds? Here goes
Lyxumia 20 units every morning
Levemir 100 units at night
Apidra 10mg before each meal
Metformin 2000mg a day
Amlopidine 5mg per day
Crestor 5 mg per day
Gabapentin 900 per day
Half beta prograne 80 per day
Fluoxetie 20 mg a day
Olmetec 20 mg a day
Occasional panic attacks - Xanax
Periods of insomnia - Stilnox
I certainly would not recommend any attempt to self medicate for hypthyroidism.
But I do believe that you are in a viscious circle, your BG is high, which for me was a major factor in how I felt.
I was only diagnosed as my concentration was poor, my memory terrible and I was constantly exhausted, which was why I went to the doctor in the first place.
When I lowered my BG, I returned to normal.
I can't say you will, but I suspect it would be a major step along the way.
