Low GI is pretty simple once you look into it a bit - it's basically swapping processed foods for more basic foods - so instead of highly processed white bread, swap to multigrain. instead of white rice, use brown (or basmatti - i hate brown!). wholemeal pasta. more protein, less simple carbs. minimise white spud and swap to sweet spud where you can. i've found it hasn't changed what we eat much at all meal wise - just the components kwim? you just need food thta your body has to work to process so you don't have the sugar highs and lows
for instance, the bread is nothing to change. ummm, when we have something with mash, we do a mix of normal and sweet spud (i find straight sweet spud isnt' the same!)....
as to the testing - that would have been to test your progesterone and LH surge info after taking the clomid i'd say - to make sure you ovulated and work out when to inseminate - the screening for PCOS includes early cycle FSH, progesterone and estrogen (i think). not too dramatic really.
is it possible to get your records from the diagnosis to your new doc (maybe new doc can request them - just play dumb and say you had scans and meds and were told something was wrong but not sure what!)
