I haven't been to the endo in a long time--right now, my regular doc does the follow up tests and prescriptions. But I'm going to make an appointment just for a check up with the endo since it's been a long time.
I went to the endo because of the thyroid. While I was there, he noticed other stuff and had me tested--insulin resistance and a bunch of genetic endocrinological disorders. Only the insulin resistance turned up positive, so he prescribed glucophage XR, which I've been taking for over 3 years now.
It stinks about the soy thing, I know. I'm a vegetarian and have relied a lot on soy products. Now I just have to time the soy products so they don't come within 4 hours of the thyroid meds. That means no soy for dinner or breakfast, really. I don't care about the breakfast, but dinner--that cuts out a lot of the usuals. Although sometimes, I take my second dose of cytomel on the early side and then have a late dinner, so it works out.
