Thyroid hormones have a regulatory effect on metabolism, the conversion of glucose into ATP, the energy molecules. Thyroid hormones consist of the amino acid Tyrosine and iodine (T3 has 3 iodine, T4 has 4 iodine). Deficiency of iodine from dietary sources could lead to hypothyroidism, or goiter.

Seaweed (or sea vegetables) are a great source of iodine.

In this respect, seaweed might supply the necessary iodine for the thyroid hormone production, thyroid hormone in turn is effecting the metabolism, and Diabetes is a metabolic disease.
