How do you test for a thyroid disease or addison’s disease?
Thyroid function is tested by drawing blood for levels of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), T3 and If your level is higher than normal range than you are hypothyroid. If the level is lower than the normal range you are hyperthyroid.
Addison's is primary diagnosed by drawing early morning fasting levels of your ACTH. If the levels are higher than range they will also draw some additional hormone blood tests but that was the test they used to diagnose me
I have had hyperthyroid for years, now I am hypothyroid. It is easy to test through a blood test.
How many of you with T1D have been diagnosed with other autoimmune diseases? If so, what are I have heard that they pretty much run in 3's.
Has anyone had to deal with Hyperparathyroidism? I have an elevated calcium level.
Even with controlled sugar levels, I am suffering from extreme fatigue. Is this a common for those diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes?
