@trieste Have you spoken to a dietician? If not your doctor can refer you to one. Also, for me, I find that going to an endocrinologist beats going to my PCP, particularly if you have any complex concerns, and it sounds as if you do. When my endo moved out of town I did use my PCP for a while but then decided to go back to using the endo, even though he is about an hour away.
For your weight and size I would not think that diabetes would be a concern, but then I guess that even though it is more prevalent when a person is overweight that is not always the case.

Yes, you have done well and need more help from an endocrinologist who can also check your thyroid and other issues. I remember that it was my endo who recommended the Metformin because my primary doctor did not. He said it doesn't do much, and I think it has helped. You may be dealing with genetic causes which complicates matters. Be persistent in seeking more help at this time. Dorisena
