Kelly WPA replied to BenJamminSF's discussion 'T1 Sudden weight gain - 10+ lbs in 2 weeks?'"Hope, unfortunately, a lot of endos are very good with diabetes but not with thyroid. It is possible to have a normal TSH but your other levels are not normal. I had been on thyroid meds for about 10 years and last year, my thyroid really took a…"
Gerri replied to BenJamminSF's discussion 'T1 Sudden weight gain - 10+ lbs in 2 weeks?'"Rapidly growing tumor! That's a helluva thing to tell your wife because they don't know what's going on.
An endo who only does TSH to check for thyroid problems doesn't know much, not that that's any surprise. The tests…"

BenJamminSF replied to BenJamminSF's discussion 'T1 Sudden weight gain - 10+ lbs in 2 weeks?'"Right??!!

Her endo is very concerned. Her…"
Hope replied to BenJamminSF's discussion 'T1 Sudden weight gain - 10+ lbs in 2 weeks?'"If she is T! and has been running too high, and is now bringing her BS down to normal and could cause some weight gain. Ditto with the extra insulin. I have to work really hard to keep the weight off since starting insulin."
Hope replied to BenJamminSF's discussion 'T1 Sudden weight gain - 10+ lbs in 2 weeks?'"Kelly-
Can you say more about checking Free T4 and Free T3? I thought I had heard this too, but when I brought it up with my former endo, he said just checking TSH was fine. I have lots of confidence in him (he was the best I ever had), but just…"
