Hi Nikki,

That is your choice. I go to my family doctor because I trust her, I love

her, she is great. She works with me, she has time for me to answer any

questions. If I need an appointment quickly I can get it. Those things are

what

are important to me when I consider a doctor.

So, I think the answer would be who you feel more comfortable seeing.

Hello,

I am new to the group. I have a question- probably asked a zillion

times.

Do you recommend letting a family type doctor handle this illness, or

should I be going to an endocrinologist?

I am not on meds yet- just diet and exercise. Yet this illness is so

complicated- I'm not sure what to do?

When I was diagnosed, I was given the prescription for a meter and

strips, and that was it. No one would even show me how to use it

Geez! I read " Diabetes for Dummies " . That doctor seemed to think

unless you ran into complications you family doctor would be okay.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Hi J,

I'm guessing you are responding to a post about medical doctors and what some of

them don't know - ;o) It's so true though!!! (you might want to put part of

the post in you are responding to as I forget very easily what I say - don't

know about the rest of you! I was confused for a few minutes there . . . .
