Sorry to hear that your insurance will not cover. I was lucky that my ENDO has a Dietician on staff. Look up in your health care provider directory for RD (registered dieticians). If you don’t see any there, call up Endocrinologists in the area. The front office help will usually refer you to names and numbers if you request. Look up names in the yellow pages of RD’s then call and asked them what their experience is with Graves’ patients. I am the first Graves’ patient to seek help with my RD. She gets a lot of Diabetics and people with Eating disorders. I wish she knew more about our disease. I feel like a lot of the time I am telling her what I cannot have (is salt, seaweed, etc.).

If you are paying yourself, no worries, you can go and have a one time consultation and then monitor yourself. My RD gave me great literature, and eating plan and recommended that I keep a food journal.

Good Luck
