First, low blood sugar is common with low adrenals, a condition that
frequently goes along with hypothryoidism.

Secondly, Broda Barnes mentioned his thyroid patients with diabetes never had
any of the complications of diabetes.  My old partner used to limp from
diabetic foot neuropathy while I limped from thryoid foot neuropathy, only
mine had been diagnosed as "plantar fascitis" and if it hadn't gone away with
armour thryoid I would never have known the thyroid could be the cause of
foot problems.   My business partner had other symptoms similar to mine too.
His diabetes looked a lot like my hypothyroidism except he was older, and his
a bit worse.

If you go to the archives at www.emissary.net/thyroid, click on the screen
that says advanced search and type in sugar as the topic and guzman as the
author you might run accross some advice he got from a smart but retired
thyroid practitioner by the name of Dr. Richard Alford.   I think that Alford
said it tended to run higher in hypothyroid people who were well treated yet
caused no problems.
