Good for you! We seem to be in a similar place, although my doctor said I'm borderline pre-diabetic. Similar treatment, with Metformin (Glucophage) and an initial prescription of Levothyroxine with a checkup in 2 months to see how my thyroid responds. I'm hopeful that this, combined with going very low carb, can get me back to the weight I was before my back went out and I stopped being able to exercise the same way. Make sure you stay hydrated and pay attention to your muscles: if you start twitching, you may need to review your mineral intake, like magnesium and potassium and sodium. You got this!
