Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There's no particular timeline that stands true for all patients, it depends on many factors such as age of diabetes onset, control of blood sugars, lifestyle and regular check ups.

View allI'm a 51-year-old with a weight of 62 kg, and I've been on 88 mcg of medication a day for hypothyroidism for the past 6 months. I just got my thyroid profile results, and they show my T3 is 0.98, T4 is 7.93, and TSH is 12.58. What should I do now?
-It seems your TSH level is still higher than the normal range, indicating that your thyroid may not be fully optimized with the current dosage of 88 mcg. I recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your medication or exploring other treatment

Can you get pregnant after thyroidectomy?
Yes, it is definetly possible to get pregnant after thyroidectomy but you may face some challenges due to secondary hypothyroidism post surgery. A study published in August 2015 in the "Journal of Pregnancy" found that women with hypothyroidism were less likely to become pregnant and more likely to take longer to become pregnant than women without the condition. You need to consult a doctor and take treatment accordingly.
