Hypothyroidism, pre-diabetic, need advice.

Question

Hello all.
I have recently tried to go Vegetarian twice.
Both times I ended up with headaches and vertigo.

I have an underactive Thyroid and take Levoxyl for it.
I am also pre-diabetic and the 1st time I tried vegetarianism I could feel the diabetes receding.

The 1st time I tried vegetarianism I felt great physically but mentally I was suffering (dizziness and headaches) but kept going for a few weeks hoping things would go away.  I eventually stopped, ate Chicken for a month or so and tried again.
The 2nd time I immediately stopped once the vertigo/headaches started.

My current supplements are fish oil, D3, B12, and a Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc .  I used to take iron but was having phantom pains (iron overload) so stopped.

I'm not sure what I'm missing (supplement wise) so I figured that I would ask instead guessing and dealing with the dizziness/vertigo and headaches.

Thanks

Hello, you may want to add sourdough whole wheat crispy crackers with bananas along side to your diet and also add lentil to your diet to help you feel better.
