I don't think they'll starve you for a long time. You'll be asked to show up one morning without having eaten after dinner the evening before, and without having had breakfast.

I suspect your insuance will cover test strips if you can get a doc to prescribe them for you.

Syc is right...it hadn't ocurred to me you weren't under care for this. Metabolic disease is no joke; my lifeparter I mentioned earlier was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis many years ago. She's been on synthetic thyroid ever since.

At the time, the doc told her "I'm glad we caught this now, if it had gone on a few months more, I might only have been able to keep you somewhat comfortable until you died."
