I called an ND yesterday. The hitch is that in the Great State of

Ohio, NDs are not recognized for insurance purposes. So, not only do

they not take insurance (but said that they'd like to), but none of

their services, nor labs they request can be submitted for insurance

coverage.

I'm just about maxed out on credit right now with all of this - not

working, paying out of pocket for tests, consults, etc.

I'm not sure how to proceed. May just have to wing it & hope for the

best. I'm not above going into further debt for it...just want to

make sure I can continue what I start!

I'd bet they take the testing that you've already had done. It sure

couldn't hurt to ask.

Yes, they will, but I suspect that she will need additional bloodwork.

Running low on dough! Guess I'll need to open a few more of those 0%

offers instead of shredding them!

I know what you mean about it being expensive. My first visit with

my new doc was $1500 out of pocket. The amount I've spent on

supplements, I wouldn't even want to total up, but I know it would

easily add up to at least $200 a month. The information I've found

has been a goldmine though and I'll gladly continue to pay out to get

the kind of care that it is aimed at my and my daughter's continued

good health. I can't put a price tag on that, especially where my

daughter is concerned. When you have a kid with a serious chronic

illness and all the doctors are interested in is the status quo, it's

a sorry state of affairs. I'm fortunate in that I'm able to spend

the money it takes to do this, but even if I wasn't able, I'd find a

way.

You're so right. ESPECIALLY about the status quo part.

Who treats your daughter's diabetes?

Warmly,

For the moment we're stuck with a pedi endo for her care. Her old

endo, whom I liked retired a few months ago and the guy who took his

place is an arrogant ass, who only became an attending doctor this

past summer. It usually takes them a few years to gain that much

arrogance, so he really concerns me. I'm looking for another doctor

for her, but I refuse to use a particular children's hospital here in

Houston, so it really limits my choices.
