Reall...I love your approach to this tough question. Really paints a perfect picture talking about straight versus curly hair, etc. You're so right!Scott K.

Something that might help is to isolate one Endocrinologist that you prefer and try to make that your main contact. Not always practical with a disease that is 24/7 but in this way, you can actually 'shrink' the size of your clinic down to a manageable size and begin to develop that relationship. I have also found that finding the hospital advocate, ours is a social worker, you can use the SW as a voice for your needs. Dad pumps and child wants to know why she isn't pumping like Dad. If none of that works, we can send in Cousin Vinny! xxooNaturally Sweet Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430311447273580229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863629804514411236.post-18295150105871669372013-05-17T17:41:27.754-04:002013-05-17T17:41:27.754-04:00Well said, even poetic.
I also read your daughter...Well said, even poetic.<br /><br />I also read your daughters' diagnosis stories, as this was my first visit to your blog. I envy (see, everyone has something!) your experience with diagnosis with your second daughter. Although my husband has diabetes and has had for 14 years, we were not given anything in the way of credit for our existing knowledge. I have had to be the heavy hitter advocate, and it's like pulling teeth to get her on a pump. We are dealing with an enormous hospital clinic with hundreds of patients, and everytime I call in to talk to her team, I have to say again, "you know that my husband has diabetes too, and that we are already familiar with management?" It's tough. <br /><br />I wish we'd been able to see his endocrinologist, but alas, he doesn't treat children. It would have been a whole different story though.greenpalmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270097172421228598noreply@blogger.com
