Hello, Hyperthyroidism can rise your blood sugars. When we start treatment for hypothyroidism with thyroxine, often we find blood sugars going up. So indirectly there is a relation. Besides, auto immune diabetes ( type 1 diabetes) and thyroid disease can be related. In addition to this there is a icreased prevelence of hypothyroidism in Type 2 diabetes as well, especially in women. Regards Binu
