seeking coordinated care

Just an update --my insurance panel refused to cover my 2nd visit with RD, as I do not have lab results indicating that I have either thyroid disease, diabetes, etc.

The question involved here is the one I mentioned earlier. Why are my lab results normal, including blood sugar, if, just like a person who has diabetes and high blood sugars, I too have to stick 100% to an ADA diet and consistently exercise to avoid gaining weight? Why is dietary counseling covered for a diabetic, but not for chemopause patients like me?

I am still working on meeting with an endocrinologist.
