Endo in Boston - and a bit of rant.

Does anyone know of an endo that actually is a diabetic in the Boston area?

I honestly feel no doctor can succssfully treat type I diabetes that also hasn't experienced the ups and downs (glucose levels and otherwise) that accompany the disease.

ALSO

Outside of my google sessions do any TI's know of any forums that aren't filled with "im not an expert but my child is diabetic"'s and one time xyz happend, because i can gaurantee your son or daughter will have at least a dozen stories they have never shared with anyone that you never knew about surrounding lows or highs that themselves or there friends helped them through.

Hi,

I have been a type 1 for 34 years.  I come to this site and several others .

Some of the other sites I go to are:

   Diabetes healing well .com

  And

  Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes forum

I have found help and good advice at this site as well as the 2  I mentioned.

The 2 sites I mentioned seem to be run by diabetics or have diabetics as moderators, all 3 sites will give you some advice you can live with, but as with all free advice, sometimes it is worth what you pay for it.

I am a long-time type 1 diabetic (37 years) and I understand your frustration. I happen to have an identical twin who is also a type 1 diabetic, and it has helped me through the years to share experiences with her. I do have some suggestions for you, based on what your questions appear to be:
