Comment on Diabetes-Hypothyroidism Link by Janie

Hi everyone,

I know that many of you have Hypothyroid and Type 2 diabetes.

Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disorder, which will eventually branch out to other parts of your body regardless of whether you take a replacement thyroid hormone.
I am 36 and was diagnosed at 23 with Hashimoto’s. Now, I have symptoms of late onset Type 1 diabetes and Celiac disease.
The connection is scary because the autoimmune disease will eventually affect, by brain and other parts of my body.

We need to understand that gluten exacerbates autoimmune disorders and is often the cause.

If you’re having issues with jQuery UI Datepicker and using this technique insert “change( hide_label )” before “.focus( hide_label ).blur( show_label ).each( hide_label ).each( show_label );” and it will solve your issues.

I haven’t seen this, but it’s not terribly surprising. Do you have a test page somewhere?

Something like overlabel would make a good extension to the Datepicker, I think. But I don’t know that code at all to suggest how it might best be incorporated.

Hi guys,
I’m having a conflict problem with Overlabel and UI Datepicker. When I select the date, the label and the date are meshed together. So it clears when I first click on the input box, but when I go to select a date from the pop-up calendar, the label returns. Any idea on how to fix this? I figured it has something to do with the fact that the input is dynamic and not directly within the input box.

I’ve been told I’m borderline for both (started as hypoglycemia). Basically, any symptoms I have get written off by my doctor because my test results are right at the edge. I relate to a lot of the above, but let me ask about one thing that I haven’t seen addressed anywhere- How is your memory? For decades, I have had memory problems. I’m not talking about little things, I’m talking about not remembering people that clearly knew me for years, or having very little memory of school (grade, highschool, college). I go on vacation and can’t talk about it a year later because I don’t remember. I’m wondering if it has anything to do with the combination of hypothyroidism and diabetes. Anyone??

Wow! I am another one that can say I thought I was the only one going through this. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2005 after many years of fighting a losing battle withbeing overweight.Then a few months later diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I was totally suprised I had an A1C at that time of 10.5. now I have A1C as high as 13.9 crazy huh, daily blood sugars go as high as 609. Yes I am insulin dependent.But what is so discouraging to me is a few months ago,I was at my doc appt. and in talking with my doc I let her know how frustrated I am about the weight gain, not being able to lose weight. She ask how I was feeling, I said terrible, sluggish,tired,achy and so on. Told her I was stressed , looking for employment with no luck. Now the real good part, her response to me was “well I wouldn’t hire you either if you came to me looking for a job, look at you!. Look at your appearance.You need to lose some weight too. You need to go home and watch biggest loser and when you excercise as much as those people then we can say that it is not because of yor illnesses or medications”.
Good one huh!!. Thats what we have to deal with, people with diabetes and hashimotos, basically your overweight cause you wanna be. Oh well needless to say I am looking for a new Doctor.

@Cheryl: Is that happening only in Firefox? And only when there are several passwords stored for the field? If so, that’s the issue that several people have pointed out and it’s one for which no one has yet found a solution. We’ll keep looking, though. Sorry.

This is an excellent help to me, looks very stylish and nice. I’m also having the problem with autofilled-passwords causing a label overlap. Could any of you gentlemen give me some kind of workaround here? I just want the labels to disappear when the fields are filled in. I work with PHP (and only cut-and-paste with Jquery and javascript), so some of your posts are kinda over my head. Any help would be appreciated.

@GouMs: Well, I don’t get to follow the jQuery group regularly; I figure this fairly minor plug-in is at least one way I can give back to the community.

I have just recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and on the lowest treatment dose. I am suppose to be tested every six weeks but I work out of the country and getting the results for the second test 6 months on.
I feel very tired all the time. I recently hurt my knee and it is taking much longer than normal to heal which is worrying. I have in the last few days developed a thirst. I can only imagine this might be a symptom of pre-diabetes. I did use a urine strip last night which produced a negative result. I have not been successful at losing weight even though I am quite active.

I am male which is strange as the vast majority of people with these problems are women. So, I’m not sure why my hormones should be in such a jumble.

It would be nice if there was more information about the combination of hypothyroidism and diabetes.

Do we live normal life spans? I haven’t asked my doctor as I am not sure if I want the answer to this question.

@Craig: I haven’t tried your script, but is it working with password fields? I know that it’s one of the major concern about watermark that are not using the overlabel method…

@Scott: Thanks, let me know if you find anything. By the way it’s very nice to see that more than 2 years after posting this thread, you are still updating the script and helping people to handle it!

Cheers

@GouMS: Yes, I see what you’re talking about too. I haven’t found a solution yet, but I’ll keep looking.

@Craig: This is an interesting alternative. It is slightly simpler, which is nice, but it has one minor hole that I can see: If the user wants to type the same value as is displayed in the label, she’s not going to see it as an entered value but as an overlabeled-style field. This is not a big deal, I imagine, but it could be disconcerting.

About my last comment:

I tried to hang arround with “DOMAttrModified” but I figured out that the value of an input field is actually not a DOM attribute. The actual is only use to set the default value, and is not change when a user or a script update the value of the field.

So I tried with “DOMControlValueChanged” but nothing conclusive.. I don’t know if this event is really working yet in the common browsers… Does anyone know about it?

Regards.

Hi Guys,

Nice discussion about best ways to do a watermark using jQuery !
I’m using a similar pluggin that I wrote myself, and was looking around the web to find a fix for my problem wich is the same than Aaron (post #75).

Reproduce it as easy as this:
- Make a login form with overlabel (email + password).
- Log in and allow firefox to remember your email and password.
- Log out
- Reload the page
- Type the begining of your email address, and select it in the list that firefox is showing.
–> The password field is automaticaly filled and the label stay over the input value !

I can’t find the event to use to fix that :s

Is anyone having an idea?

Cheers

I looked and what you did and wrote a plugin that’s does the exact same thing in a slightly different way. Instead of moving the label over the input, I chose to hide the label and copy the html() into the input’s value attribute.

Here’s my version:

(function($) {
    $.fn.overlabel = function() {
        this.filter('label[for]').each(function() {
            var $label = $(this);
            var $field = $('input[id="' + $(this).attr('for') + '"]');
 
            if(!$field) return;
 
            var hide_label = function() { 
            	if ($field.val() == $label.html() || $field.val() == "")
            	{
            		$field.val(""); 
            		$field.removeClass('overlabel_shown');
            	}
            };
            var show_label = function() {
            	if ($field.val() == $label.html() || $field.val() == "")
            	{
            		$field.val($label.html());
            		$field.addClass('overlabel_shown') 
            	}
            };
 
            $label.hide();
 
            $field.focus(hide_label).blur(show_label).each(show_label);
 
            return;
        });
    };
})(jQuery);

I should also mention that I have two children. I was tested negative for gestational diabetes both times. My younger is about to be 6 months old. She was born preterm with critically low blood sugar (28) and had to spend the 1st 24 hrs in nicu. it is my understanding that this usually occurs when the mother is diabetic. I was re-tested 6 weeks after her birth because of this with a gtt and was normal…..

I was diagnosed with hashimoto’s thyroiditis in 1995 at 15 years old. I have been taking synthroid ever since, and occasionally my medication needs to be adjusted, but I recently discovered that there is a link between thyroid disease and diabetes. I am concerned I may be pre diabetic, and I had suspisions in the past of possible hypoglycemia. The doctor I spoke to about my symptoms at the time blew it of as all in my head and “they make medications for that” It made me so mad! a few years ago I bought a meter from walgreens, and I periodically test myself. Sometimes I go as low as 51, and my highest was over 200 (after a party and lots of food) but my average is between 94 and 149 at any time of day. I stay on top of my thyroid condition, having it tested a few times a year, and am wondering about the a1c and if this test would be indicated for someone like me, to determine if I need further evaluation….
Thanks for your website.
