Hello
Thanks for your query.You are known patient of Hyperthyroidism with Goiter You have been taking medicines for the same but Goiter has not resolved In majority of the patient simple Goiter gets complicated into Toxic Goiter affecting the cardiovascular system and sometimes undergo malignant changes.So it is always better to under go surgery of Thyroidectomy done.Though you are diabetic there in no danger in getting operated.
