8 glasses of water per day add up to about 2 liters of water (67 ounces or just over half a gallon). As people with diabetes, drinking enough water is especially crucial. Even a little dehydration during the day (which is easier than we realize) can impact our blood sugars.

Question

What is difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?

I'm really concerned because my blood test showed my Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) level is at 22.64 IUml, while the reference range is 0.30 to 5.5. Is this something I should be worried about? What exactly does TSH do, and why would my levels be so high?
