Can I eat cheese every day with thyroid?

Yes, at a normal serving (1 katori / 1 glass) and as part of a varied diet. Paneer or a small amount of real cheese.

Does cheese raise blood sugar?

Cheese contains little or no available carbohydrate, so glycemic index does not really apply to it and it has minimal direct effect on blood glucose. What matters here is the rest of the meal it is part of.

What should I eat cheese with if I have thyroid?

Paneer or a small amount of real cheese. Cheese is already a protein source, so the thing to watch is what it is served with — the rice, roti or bread beside it is usually where the glucose load comes from.
