I believe the best player for you along with your endocrinologist is your dietitian. He/she can guide you on a diet that should be safe for you. Mayo Clinic has a good assortment of dietitians designed especially for you or you can choose outside of Mayo. Wherever you go, have a team of docs in play such as your PCP and endocrinologist. I, personally, am getting acupuncture who also has a Ph.D. in Immunology from Vanderbilt. There is help out there for your disease, and be sure you check your lab tests frequently.
