Patient's question:
Friend has always had diabetes and has now been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Here I would like to ask the doctor. What treatment is required for diabetics with hyperthyroidism?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description: Diabetes should persist in medication, irregular diet, and the use of hypoglycemic drugs. If hyperthyroidism is diagnosed, it should also be treated. If there are no contraindications, oral antithyroid drugs such as methimazole should be administered. If the heart rate is too fast, oral propranolol is also needed to control the heart rate. Antithyroid drugs may cause leukopenia and liver function damage, so regular follow-up of thyroid function, blood routine, and liver function is necessary.
