I have recently been diagnosed with Graves disease. Prior to that, I am diabetic. I feel like no matter what I do, my sugar is high. I feel horrible. I have just had the iodine test done on Wed and find out the results on Monday at my endocronologist. I have a husband that is taking treatments for Stage 4 Cancer and we have an 7 and 11 year old. I am weak in muscles, tired, and always hot. My sugar is constantly 200+++ and i and a 9 on their A1C chart, possibly will have to go on insulin. I now take the diabete pill and is maxed on the dosages.
Has anyone been in this situation and what do you feel I should do. I feel the one pill you take and become radioactive, and risk with my kids and husband is out of the questions as I take care of everyone. The doctor seemed upset and a bit patrubed when I told him I didnt want to do that treatment. I thank God I just found this page. Has anyone been in this situation. I have no family to help me as they all work jobs and cant take time off. Please give me your thoughts and opinions on what you would do in this situation.
