If any one of them isn't working properly, others will act up also. Similar to how a class of kindergarteners act on days when the barometer is going up! No control at all.

This is because the way their body uses glucose is altered. Fatigue may set in and you won't feel like undertaking any physical activity. This may lead to weight gain from the decreased physical activity and a slower metabolism. However, once a person with hypothyroidism receives thyroid replacement medication, their thyroid levels usually return to normal, as does their diabetes medication requirements.
