Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Alot, not all, but alot of us are either diabetic or have thyroid issues.

I have gained a lot of weight over the past 9 or 10 years, and while I do blame my habits for some of this, it is not as if I just sit around. I work full time, have adopted my granddaughter, that take a lot of energy and work, plus I had been taking care of both elderly parents, only one now. Can someone shed some light on why? I can only figure that for me it is because while I would not exactly say I am nauseated to the point of throwing up, that never happens, my stomach does tend to be upset a lot and there are certain foods that just make it feel better.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I have hypothyroid and am pre-diabetic, but have been able to work very hard and lose 60 lbs in the last year or so. It’s tough to maintain. We are constantly changing the dose on my Synthroid (thyroid med) ever since I started tx. Everyone starting or on tx be aware that they need to check your thyroid before and regularly during tx, especially if you’re already aware of a thyroid problem. It’s manageable by changing your dose of thyroid meds & not a problem with tx, but it definitely needs to be monitored because tx can mess with it and cause other problems, then you think you’re having freaky side effects, blah, blah, blah. Weight gain & tx Alot, not all, but alot of us are either diabetic or have thyroid issues. Me, I have both issues!!! d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
