[Diabetes-talk] question?

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

I have never heard that.  Here in Omaha, the Nebraska Medical Center
opened up a new all-inclusive diabetes clinic.  The clinic contains all
kinds of specialist relating to diabetes.

I have never been advised to seek treatment from anyone except my
indocrine doctor when it comes to my diabetes.  Even now, they still
tell us to see a specialist.

During our state convention, I hosted a diabetes seminar, and I had my
nurse educator (who is the best) speak.  Many attendees were not
currently seeing a specialist, and she strongly urged them to see an
indocrine doctor.

for the past 44 years I always had a diabetic doctor. Now I am told they
are not getting paid properly so diabetics are being sent to general
docs.

If you do not consistently see a specialist, how do they track any
trends in your readings, or you're a-1C, or any test for your organs and
general body function?

At one point I was seeing a general practitioner, and I can tell you
there is a world of difference between seeing a family doctor and a
specialist for a condition like diabetes.

It is obviously your choice, but I would advise against it.

Dar here
I see my doctor every three to four months.
Around christmas, I will ask not to go in December unless I have a
problem. Other than that I see my doctor. I don't feel comfortable with
that of what your doctor shared with you.
