Being a diabetic is time consuming, not to mention, costly. Fortunately, I have insurance, but still, it is expensive. After trying meter after meter to test my sugar, I have settled on a generic brand from a local supercenter, and of course, insurance does not cover it. Recently, I underwent several tests, including blood work. Another costly thing to have done, but seemed to be well worth it.
I have encountered some type of thyroid problem, as the doctor told me my tsh level was .030, whatever that means. I am curious to know whether or not, most diabetics have these problems with their thyroid, as I was told that a good majority of diabetics do. Being a diabetic who has never really had a handle on things, I don’t have a endo doctor to go to, just my family doctor. Now, I am told, I will have to find an endo doctor who can handle my problem.
Perhaps if someone out there has a problem such as this, please contact me. Some of these things can be overwhelming. As I have no knowledge of what tsh levels are, I am clueless. The next question I have been asked by some is, what is my T3 & T4. For all I know, they are talking about my third and forth toes. My doctor has only given me my tsh level and said nothing else about it. I am assuming this is important information, as I have been asked this question more than once.
Like I said, if anyone out there has information that might help inform me, I would greatly appreciate the help
