Metabolism refers to the way your body converts calories into food. For people with diabetes, this process often requires monitoring. Your thyroid gland plays an important role in regulating your metabolism. Hyperthyroidism, a type of thyroid disorder, speeds up your metabolism and results in several symptoms. Diabetes and hyperthyroidism increase your risk of serious health problems.

 

During the metabolic process, people with diabetes fail to produce adequate amounts of insulin in response to the sugar content of foods. In healthy individuals, the production of insulin helps the glucose enter cells. A lack of insulin can cause the glucose to build up in your bloodstream, often causing serious complications, such as blindness, kidney failure and heart disease. For people living in the United States, diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Symptoms of diabetes include sudden vision changes, excessive tiredness, infections, unexplained weight loss, excessive thirst and frequent urination.
