Diabetic and hypothyroid
Married for 4.5 years with 2 missed abortions and currently undergoing infertility treatment. Recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and hypothyroidism (T3 T4 TSH normal but TPO increased). I have more love for sweets. But now taking nil sugar. What kind of food I can take. Can I use artificial sweetners instead of natural sugar? Will it affect my glycemic levels

Hello,
Eat foods with low glycemic index and avoid eating foods having complex carbohydrates like oats and whole grain rotis. Refrain from refined sugar and sugary foods. Also, drink plenty of water and do not do binge eating. Take small frequent meals.

You have already developed an autoimmune disease (TPO positive ) which may come in your way of having a healthy pregnancy. The reason of your miscarriage is that the baby wants to live in a healthy body. You may want to heal your body before trying to be pregnant again as in that case, you will pass on a healthy body to your baby also.
