Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Well I just heard from the ped. endo. This one dosnt speak english very well he is from India. But the nero says he is supposto be great. He is at a good hospital. is feeling a bit timid about this but he will be ok they said I will be next to him the whole time and so will his nero. She is having a 5 hour test run. The first time he had a hard time as he hardly ever gets anything sweet but said he will try his best. Iam also feeling apprehensive. He said he also wants to run tests on his thyroid and pancries. He didnt understand what the other endo ment about maybe hypo on the way to diabetis. He said either they are hypo or not. He is concerned that william isnt gaining any weight.He said that is something that goes with hypo and that he may need something more then diet. Will they use an iv site on him or stick him in the arm a bunch of times? Is there anything other then the sticks I should prepair william for? Last time they gave him a cola drink and stuck him once and then again 3 hours later. This endo seemed concerned about williams weight when he found out he is 7 and hasnt gained weight in a year and is only 50 pounds and eats just about anything you put in front of him. Well I get the exact time and date tomorrow. I have to find out if they want him to take his seizure med that am. Can they tell me if he is hypoglacimic by a blood test I thought all they could tell was diabetic. Oh yes when you first eat afterwards you have a high count from the food how long should it stay high??He may get a 195 reading it can stay that way for 4 hours and sometimes it comes crashing down withen 45 min.

Hi , I think this is why they are mentioning " brittle " about . Poor little punkin, he is sure having a tough time. I am praying that the results will come in good and that they find an easy way to help him. Hugs, marilyn Marilyn Moderator for Diabetic_Recipes dnevessr@...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Hi list, I hope all goes well with . A few endos can have abrasive personalities. I use a wheelchair and have Cerebral Palsy and Spina Bifida as well as Type II diabetes. I went to see a new endo. After meeting me and reviewing my case, he called me a child incapable of self management and an autistic retard. I rolled out of the endo's office really flaming irritable MAD! This doctor didn't see past the wheelchair. I went back to my internist and explained what happened and was later referred to another Indian endo. His English is good and he's nice and answers questions and takes his time. Some doctors can be really difficult with kids/disabled people. Just my .2 worth!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 good for you, kent! no kidding about some doctors being bad with people. i once went looking for a new doctor, and went to see this general practitioner (sp?). had never saw the man before in my life. he walks into the examination room without so much as a glance at me, throws a stack of files down, and screams *what is wrong with you people, you never take care of yourselves?!!* i wrote a letter and sent it to every member doctor in the practice. what a weirdo! rach > Hi list, > > I hope all goes well with .
