Suggest Treatment For Diabetes, Addison S Disease And Hypothyroidism?

I have type 1 diabetes, addison s disease, and hypothyroidism. Is there a doctor who specializes in how those 3 diseases work together? I see an endocrinologist, but it seems like there should be another Dr. who works with this more closely. I m having problems with the hydrocortisone that I take, interfering with my insulin and diabetes.

please check a urine free cortisol in a 24 hour sample to see if within the normal range or not. if high, you are getting a higher dose of steroid than needed and need to cut down.
