    Both can be due to autoimmune conditions, among other causes. Low thyroid will slow down the metabolism and calorie burning. I've had a hyperthyroid cat and also had 2 diabetic cats. What do you need to know?

    Hi BJ, :bighug:

    * If thyroid levels are high does it impact speed of metabolism of insulin (e.g. could the dose peter earlier for Vetsulin)?

    * What impact does hyperthyroidism generally have on glucose levels (increase? lower?)?
