A 40-year-old female comes to a diabetologist for newly diagnosed diabetes. Her aim is 9 % and had been experiencing  Excessive hunger and continued weight gain. She has had a known case of hypothyroidism for 3 years and is on regular treatment with 50 micrograms of thyroxine. Her present TSH is well within range, and she does not experience any lethargy, sleepiness, or cold intolerance. Her medication history includes the use of some medicine at bedtime prescribed by a psychiatrist in the past six months for her mental irritability and sleep issues. How do we explain her present issues?
