Diets for Diabetic with Hypothyroidism and Hypocortisolism

A:

The normal creatinine level for women adults is 0.5-1.1 and for men adults it is 0.7-1.2. Therefore if your are male it is still within the normal range but if it continues to become higher, you need to pay more attention to that. If you are female, it is slightly higher than the normal values.

Any way, elevated creatinine than your normal level is an indicator of renal damages. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney damages and high creatinine levels. The diet principle for diabetes and high creatinine levels are as follows: low-sugar, low-protein, low-salt and more fresh vegetables and fruits.

Since you also have hypothyroidism and hypocortisolism problems, it is not that easy to determine the ideal diets for you.

Ideal diets for hypothyroidism:

If hypothyroidism is caused by iodine deficiency, patients need to have moderate amount of kelp and laver. Proper supplement of amino acids can help ease the symptoms. Foods that are high in vitamins such as fruits and vegetables are good for the patients especially those that contain high amount of iron, vitamin B 12 and folic acid to help rectify anemia.

Ideal diets for hypocortisolism:

Have adequate nutrition supply and drink more milk which helps strengthen liver functions and adrenal functions. Supplement of vitamin D, B vitamins, vitamins C, carotenes and other nutritions that the body need can all help relieve adrenal burdens. Besides, some natural herbs are good for the adrenal health such as clover grass, ginseng, etc.

Avoid alcohol, caffeine and tobacco because they are highly toxic to the adrenal glands, thyroid gland and other glands.

While choosing daily foods for hypothyroidism and hypocortisolism, you need to take into account whether the food is good or bad for your diabetes and high creatinine levels. If you are not quite clear about that, you’d better consult your doctor or a dietitian.
