I am so happy that I found an on-line support group. I have been joking with my husband saying I need a support group...part of me really feels I need help and the other part of me feels I should be motivated to do this on my own. I was diagnosed about 8 mos ago w/hypothyroidism and then 2 months later diabetes and hbp. I have to go to the doctor today, she's concerned about my cholesterol. I recently read that hypothyroidism can cause type 2 diabetes and the medicine I take for it can raise my glucose levels. That is so frustrating. I don't want to overwhelm you all w/my 1st entry, but I really ned help with being accountable for myself. I don't have a lot of support and that helps with my denial. I feel I am too young (29) to be going through this. Thanks in advance for being there.
