My mom is 72 yrs old. On Nov 27 of last year her GP sent her to a thyroid specialist and was told that she should take this nuclear medicine RAI Pill to kill her thyroid and once that was done, they would put her on thyroid pills to control her thyroid. Since taking this RAI pill her BP and Diabetes is totally out of wack ! Her BP has gone up 218/90 . The doctor put her on Norvasc and the diabetes specialist put her on topazole. Her BP seems to be getting better but her diabetes is still bad. She started getting a really bad rash since this weekend, and her GP told her to stop taking the 4 pills of topazole for a couple of days until she gets to see her thyroid specialist next monday. My mom had her BP and
diabetes under control before taking this RAI pill. She thought she was going for a routine thyroid check up. Why are we not getting any answers from her doctors? Her GP said that he is not responsible for medication given to her from the other doctors. What is going on ?

2: What is diabetes and how is it treated?
The pancreas does not supply enough insulin and excessive amounts of sugar collect in the blood. It is treated by controlling diet and injecting extra insulin into the blood.
The thyroid gland is overactive and can cause weight-loss, irritability, and protrusion of the eyes. It is controlled through various medical procedures to reduce levels of thyroxin.
The pancreas produces too much insulin and breaks down the sugar in the blood too fast. It is treated by controlled diet and injecting insulin-suppressors into the blood.
The thyroid gland is under-active and people tend to become obese and slow in reactions. It is controlled by diet and injections of thyroxin.
