Developing Thyroid Problems

Thyroid hormone gives you energy and helps maintain other organ systems in your body.
We recommend that you get a blood test for thyroid hormone once a year, particularly if you feel more tired than usual or have other symptoms, such as constipation, dry skin, and feeling cold most of the time.

Treatment is easy and inexpensive. It is also very important, because when low thyroid hormone goes untreated, it can lead to many medical problems.

Do not hesitate to ask your doctor periodically to check your blood thyroid hormone level. Remember that other medical problems can occur in people with diabetes that are not directly related to high blood-sugar levels.
