I am so confused!!!
I have just been diagnosed with type II diabetes(early stage) the doctor gave me the lovely pyramid diet plan and said to follow it to the "T"and he would check me again in 4 months for my blood sugar. He gave me loads of reading material all put out by the drug company that makes the diabetes drugs(funny huh?) Well anyway I went right to the library and checked out every low carb book I could find 9 in all and have been reading ever since! I am starting first thing in the morning! Well to add to my confusion the doctors office called today with info that the thyroid test was possitive for Hyperthyroidism....he said this was peculiar because I hadn't been losing weight(no kidding) but I had all the other symptoms. Well I have been looking all through the low carb books for some info on hyperthyroid and all I find is hypo....is low carb good for hyper. I tried asking the doctors nurse but she said low carb is not good for anyone! The doctor is running two more tests on my thyroid but I have to wait another week for results...I want to start helping my blood sugar with low carb and I would like to know if anyone has any thoughts or experiences with this.....I am so confused any help will be wonderful....thank you for a place to blow off some steam and gets some great information......take care all.....JFan
