>I first went to my primary care physician who refered me to an endocrinologist. He suggested that I go on a low carbohydrate diet before beginning medication. That was on Dec. 13,2000. I have been trying to keep my carbs. to no more than 50 grams per meal, eliminated snacks, sodas, juices, and I have lost 15 lbs. thus far. I also have high choleseterol and have been put on baycol by my family doctor. I will go for more blood tests in a month to see if ther are any changes. I have seen my weight increase steadily fro the past few years and no matter what I did, I could not lose a pound. As I look back, I realize now that as I was trying to watch my fats I was eating more carbohydrates which was compounding my weight problem. Hope this helps a little.
