Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Take a deep breath. Even if they take your thyroid AND IT IS cancer, thyroid cancer is the most curable!!! I work with three people that have had theirs out, it was cancer and they are fine!!

I am very sorry for your losses. Definitely, you need stuff to start looking up for you!!! And it will!!in the meantime, big hugs!!!

you never mentioned you had thyroid issues which go along with diabetes at times. I have "symptomatic sub clinical graves disease" which of course is one of the harder to control/treat at times. I now have a small goiter but not too bad.

they will numb the area before they do the biopsy or maybe even place you into what is called a 'twilight' sleep but it is better to know now.

Lots of hugs. I had my a partial thyroidectomy on the left side and part of my isthmus removed because I had a big mass in my throat and just like you it felt funnyt when I would swallow. They found my problem by accident because I had a cold for a month that I could not get rid of. Mine was so big that it has caused my esophagus to be pushed over and shaped like the letter "C." I'm doing well now. I know what you mean about sticking you in the neck. Ask your doctor for 2 valium to calm you down. I did and it worked fine. Keep your head up graeater things are coming.
