QA there is an endo who is a diabetic specialist. I have only just started seeing him, so far I'm mixed on my opinion, he is willing to prescribe T3 but only after he has checked my cortisone levels. I am still awaiting the blood test for that, it's next week. Took him four weeks to type up the blood test request, week to send it. That is obviously annoying seeing as my patience is already wearing thin! If my levels are normal, I start a T3 and levo mix.

I made my doctor refer me to him, the only way to see him is referral. I had my husband with me at the doctors, who backed up everything I said (I'm sure the doctor thought it was all in my head before then). I also lied and said I had spoken to a private Dr who said he would try other treatments such as T3. My doctor will not prescribe it without the endo's back up so he sent me to the endo :D

You can message me if you would like his name :D
