Question by Becks_the_Bomb: How does the thyroid gland effect diabetes?
I know that if the thyroid gland isn’t functioning properly, people with diabetes find it difficult to manage their diabetes. Why is that?

Best answer:

Answer by G-Stone
People with diabetes who develop hypothyroidism may find it hard to manage their diabetes. 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.
