hi, You need to first have a proper functioning thyroid before you can be classified as a diabetic ,you need to get your free T3,T4,and TSH levels to be checked on a empty stomach .If your TSH levels are high then you need to take thyroxine supplements everyday in the morning.People with abnormal thyroid function tend to have deranged blood glucose levels. After a month of treatment with thyroxine repeat TSH levels and then measure blood sugars .Taking metformin for diabeties is good as it tends to cause weight loss in diabetics .Medication to hypertension can be taken with metformin,there's no danger.
