Jeez - I never thought I find other Mody folks so close to home. We should start a club - call it Mass Mody 
I submitted blood for genetic testing a few weeks ago to confirm the Mody diagnosis. I'm going to be seriously frustrated if it comes back negative. I'll let y'all know. Incidently, Athena Diagnostics - one of the few labs who does Mody testing - is right here in Worcester. I had my endo draw the blood and I dropped if off at their labs personally. Can't beat it for convenience!

Did they make you do the whole 6 test suite? When I contacted them last year they wouldn't let me just test the two genes I was interested in. And my insurer won't pay so it would have been $3,000+ to do it.
Orpy,
Korff was the guy who told me not to come back until my A1c was 8%. He has the local reputation of being the best doctor for thyroid issues. But he made it clear he thought an A1c in the low 6% range was wonderful even if I got it eating no more than 60 grams of carb a day, and that was that.
So where are you located? I'm near Greenfield.
