How To Put On Weight?
Hello, I have type 2 diabetes, I have a very high metabolism along with hyperthyroidism. I take Tresiba and Nova Log for my diabetes, methimazole for the thyroid. My TSH to high and my T3/T4 are low. I m beginning to have neuropathy feelings in the ball of my feet like it s a sore under the skin of my foot. I need to know is there any way to heal my thyroid, heal my pancreas in a change of my diet. I don t think that the medicine is working. My A1C level I believe is 13. This battle is very frustrating to me I need help. How do I get the sugar out of my blood? I believe that my pancreas is functioning but not producing the amount if insulin that my body needs. I know Iodine Salt is good for the thyroid but I took salt out of my diet years ago before my present condition. Can t gain any weight because my metabolism is high. Very frustrated.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
For people with hyperthyroid to put on weight is very difficult because they have high basic metabolic rate and they often get diarrhea also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
