| Wow! This is what I signed on for! Thanks, Buddy for asking what I didn't know how to ask and thanks to BlueSky and Frank. I didn't take my diagnosis seriously enough at first, partly because my primary care physician didn't seem concerned. I have an appt tomorrow with an endo and some of the points you raise will be on my list of questions. I have had an ongoing romance with carbs all my life which, while I was younger and thinner, didn't seem to have any effect. Now, I understand too late what I could have done differently. Again, thanks you to you guys and all the other great posters!
