Can the symptoms of diabetes and underactive thyroid be the same?
SORRY FOR ASKING SO MUCH
A little over a year ago I woke up from drinking and felt like shit, which usually isn’t the case. The next two months or so I started to notice that I was urinating a lot and drinking a lot more water than usual. Then I moved from Pennsylvania to Denver and really started to notice the difference. Every day I would wake up feeling as if I had a hangover. I thought it was just the altitude difference but as time went on things got even worse. So I went to the doctors to see if I was diabetic and they said I have an underactive thyroid. They gave me .05mg of levothyroxine “which isn’t a lot from what I understand” and I have been on it for almost a year now. They said I may be sensitive to high level as glucose but should just eat right and exercise. So I have a few questions
1.I’m only 21, is that normal
2.I wasn’t and still am not fat for having a “decrease appetite”
3.I still tend to get dry mouth and urinate a lot “back at sea level, Rhode island lots of humidity”
4.My meds say not to eat anything for an hour after taking it, which if I eat anything within 1.5-2hrs I usually feel like shit and get extreme dry mouth.
5.And ever since college I started to wet to bed every couple months “usually after drinking” is this because of excess blood sugar

to me its not the same but why not have a test and find out if you have sugar problems also. its a different test but it could be sugar problems and not that other i am not sure which type of doctor ou saw but i would take and find out cause sugar can make you feel bad and it can tire you out and it could b that instead.
I got diabetes when i was 10. I felt like SHIT every day before that for a number of months. The symptoms were similar to what you have had. I’m now a type 1 insulin dependent diabetic, and it sucks ass. Hope you don’t have it.
