The doc that we see for the boys is fantastic. It's actually a practice of 2 doctors and both are wonderful. I don't think that they have much experience with diabetes because we live in a small town and I don't think that they have many diabetic children. But, they do understand how a normal illness can make Tristan very sick. They are also in contact with his endo. So I know, if I bring Tristan in because of illness, his endo will know about it and at times, be consulted about medication if need be.<BR/><BR/>I hope that you get the doctor that you want! :) Feel better Kayleigh.

Its frustrating having a doctor that isn't familiar with caring for T1 patients. The other patients he has with diabetes are older and have T2. So when he started talking to us about diabetes and he was asking how many set units a day she was taking, I gave him a weird look and said "Well it depends on how much she eats." LOL! Which it does... one day she might take 10 units and another she might have 20 units. It also depends on colds and such too! He argued with me and told me she HAD to be on a set number of units. Thankfully I had her diabetes log for the last 6 months and I said "If you can look at these and tell me she's had 2 days the same in 6 months then I'll kiss your toes!" So when he looked at them he understood the sliding scale we are on and how it's different ratios for every meal! So I left there unsure if the care she was getting was the proper care she needed.

And that...First- hope Kayleigh feels better quick!! And that Kacey doesn't get sick again- especially after coming off of this flu! I think your right on about changing to a pediatrician. We normally do fam. practice dr.'s, but after Jada was diagnosed, I found a pediatrician. I absolutley love her and are great about returning phone calls and emails quickly. She seems to really understand Jada's special needs. I hope you get the dr. that you want!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842687454353803647noreply@blogger.com
