A member asked:

What foods can create insulin intake to an organ? and no i don't have diabetes nor cholesterol i just have hypothyroidism

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypothyroidism: Hopefully your doctor is helping you control your thyroid levels. If that is under control you should not be worried about insulin. For completeness, next time you see your doctor ask for a lab test for both diabetes and cholesterol.
