That upset me since it felt like I was losing the only shred of support I have and she said I should let my endo treat me. Seeing as how my endo wants to not suppress my thyroid and probably put me back on Levothyroxine, I opted to search for a new doctor.
I turned to my diabetic Facebook groups and then received a call from my mom, who suggested the Diet Doctor, Jason Fung. I searched his website and found a list of low carb doctors. Only one was listed in TN close to me, so I checked out their website. I sent him an email right away, and got a nice, lengthy response in half an hour! Long story short, he's a keto follower himself and said he'd do all the thyroid tests I wanted. I've got an appointment set up for next Wednesday to see if he'd be a good fit!
What I find interesting is that his practice is unique in that they bill their patients with a monthly membership, instead of running things through insurance. The cost is low and allows for him to give personalized attention to each member even outside of office hours. Hopefully he'll be able to help me get my thyroid levels normalized and my blood sugars stabilized so I can get my A1C down. One step at a time, right?
