I am diagnosed to hypothyroidism with initial TSH level 8.46 for 1 year. I am taking thyronorm 25 as medication and now the TSH level is under limit. I am also diagnosed to high blood pressure having initially 150/90 for about 1 year. I was taking metosartan 50 .and now suddenly my doctor has changed it to stamlo beta. But as I searched internet I came to know stamlo beta increases the possibility for diabetes up to 50% . So what should I do?
