Hypothyroid and Diabetes
I have been diagnosed recently that my TSH is 12 which is very low thyroid...I tend to get dizzy,light head,and anxiety,dry mouth and eye irritations often. I also feel that Diabetes also have simillar symptoms. I was not told that I have blood sugar problems by the Doctors. But seems like all the symptoms of diabetes. I am scared and my day to day life is at mess due to all these physical conditions that I face. Can some one advise me whether Thyroid and Diabetes problems are alike? Is there any cure ? I am planning to get my blood work once again and currently looking for a good doctor at NJ.

It sounds like you are dealing with a bit. Most people feel best when their TSH is around 1 take or give a little. Don't take your thyroid pills with milk and hold off on any vitamins for and hour at least. (check out the thyroid forum)
Your thyroid is probably causing a lot of the issues and yes it can get confusing on what is causing what. BP and body temp is good to keep an eye on too.
Finding a good doctor is the best start. I would write down all of your symptoms and give them the list. Having your sugar checked would be in order along with thyroid antibodies. I feel as if a lot of the symptoms intertwine. I was told exercise and diet are VERY important with sugar issues. I would imagine you are very tired though with a TSH of 12. Urggg
Sorry I'm new to diabetes issues myself. I hope someone else can help you out better than I. Take care.
