I actually have that book (but have yet to read it cover to cover!) and many other low carb, blood sugar, and Diabetes related books. My father has Diabetes (T2) as did his mother so there is family tree reasons to quit the booze and watch what I eat. If anything, I worry about high blood sugar - it's in the genes. I always feel much much better when eating low carb. Now I am going to queue up "Potatoes Not Prozak" for a long overdue read!! I have at least one other book by that author and now I can't remember what it is. (I'm bad with names of authors, actors, etc.) A drinking related book perhaps??
It's great to be able to compare notes on this stuff. Thanks for the answers to those questions!! I sort of figured blood testing every 6 months would be a sensible time frame.
If your (or anyone else's in the US) insurance does not cover your thyroid testing and you want to explore the least expensive options for getting it done, this is an interesting source.

Of course you still need a doc to prescribe meds, and to interpret the results if you don't know what you are looking for. Actually at this point, I would know what I was looking for in terms of desired test results for ME.
