Hi mmmbeads:

I'm sorry to hear about your hormone problems. As Dr. S. says, one imbalance creates another imbalance, so if one hormone is missing, all your hormones are out of balance.

You will get a lot of information from the book. The test for insulin resistance is an insulin blood test. You'll need to go to your doctor for this.

Hopefully you'll get the book soon. It's hard waiting.
