[QUOTE="Sally_8873, post: 2111897, member: 512008"] I'm 152cm/ 5ft - both slight and petite! None of my old clothes fit since I lost the weight! I have a blood test for thyroid function and antibodies scheduled for a couple of weeks time. My last blood test (June) indicated proper hypothyroidism. The plan is for a repeat test to make sure this is correct then levothyroxine. I'm less reluctant to start on this than diabetes meds. I can check and ask for all the things you mention to be tested - sometimes it's like blood from a stone trying to get my GP to do a test! If you have any tips on how to convince them, let me know! I take a daily multivits since T2 diagnosis- do you think that would be sufficient? Do you think treating the thyroid issue might help with the blood sugar? My plan was to start on levothyroxine and see what the impact on blood glucose was before resigning myself to diabetes meds. I can continue with low carb, exercise, calorie restriction - but I've been doing that since Feb and it has had no impact. It might have stopped things getting worse - hard to know. [/QUOTE]
