What kind of DR do you see...
if you want bloodwork done to rule out thryoid problems, diabetes, or a hormone imbalance?
Thanks!

I think that would be an endocrinologist.

your PCP CAN do the bloodwork - but you really should see an endocronologist - who specialized in this area - What are you looking for? Although they can treat you for any of the above mentioned - many specialize more in one area than others - some in thyroid, some in diabetes etc. So you might want to consider that when you look for an endo.

Re: What kind of DR do you see...
Good points. Also it may take some time to get in and meet with one so I would start with your PCP for the bloodwork and referral if you need one.
I had to get an appt for one of my client's for an endo recently and I called around to a bunch and the earliest they can get her in is not until after the new year!

Re: What kind of DR do you see...
Thanks so much ladies!
All 3 of those things run in my family; my GP did bloodwork in the spring but he said all my numbers were good and I'm in good health...I just know there's something thats been going on for a while and its been hard to pinpoint.
I will definitely look into an endo!!!
