Dinah,
Have you been to see an endocrinologist yet? Your GP or Internist are fine docs, I'm sure, but I would think they are not *specialists* in diabetes or related blood sugar-pancreatic metabolic disorders. I know, you are going to say you are afraid of the cost. But I would say a one-time vist to a specialist would be better than 5 visits to your *regular* docs. As for your weight loss, I don't know what meds you are on, or even what your DX is. I DO know, however, that if you have a depressive illness, that Wellbutrin (unless you are taking Remeron or some SSRI that causes weight gain) will both lift your mood AND make you lose weight. Even if you don't want to as a matter of fact. Granted, I have had some dietary changes (and you probably have guessed I live at a high stress level) but I have lost 40 pounds since July 2000 while on WB. As I say, I really don't know your medical history, but if you haven't had any experience with WB, perhaps you should consider it. Let me know what's up.
