A member asked:

Is it possible to misdiagnose diabetes for hyperthyroidism ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No : They are two entities with very different presentations and etiologies ... There maybe some few general common symptoms in both but they will be differentiated easily from one another based on lab work , presenting symptoms etc
