Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 55 year female with type 2 diabetes. Along with a relatively good diet and meds my numbers are under control. Presently, I am experiencing a pocket of fluid above my left eye showing through the eyelid. Puffiness under the eye. No injury-no trama- no infection that I know of. No allergies. There are times when the eyes runs so type of fluid. It is not itchy or irritated-but I can tell it is there.
Hello i appreciate your concern puffiness of eye might be due to thyroid disorders other than allergy and infection of eyelid
in my opinion you should visit your GP for thyroid function tests to rule out/ confirm thyroid disorders
Please make a visit to eye doctor if thyroid comes to be normal than it might be a stye due to infection of eyelid which a common presentation with diabetes
Hope this addresses your question wishing you good health take care
