Nancy, I was pre-diabetic with impaired fasting glucose. My D3 levels will be tested in this next round of labwork. My last D3 level was 43. I have been taking 5000 IU of D3 daily before and since then. I take two capsules of fish oil each day. I haven't tried the niacin but I would consider it. Is there evidence that the no-flush niacin is effective.

My doc is going to do some thyroid testing in the next round, but he refused to order Free T3 and RT3 tests. He said that they are unreliable; I think that is what he understands from the endos. I will take a look at awriter's posts.
