Endo
RE: [Insulinpumpusers] bring a high down at nightDoes this Endo treat many
IDDM’s on the pump? I’ve seen many Endo’s lately (since going on the pump
3/00, I’m searching for a good team), and although they might treat many
IDDM’s, if they have no pump experience, they can do a real dis-service to
you.

I’m #7 that he put on a pump 17 years ago. There were only 2 drs doing pumps
in Indiana at the time. The other one was in the Capitol. He even wore one
himself for 3 days before starting patients on pumps; and had an insulin
shot to know what patients experienced in a low. I don’t know what’s
happened - we used to have a pump support group, too. He said once that if I
didn’t know how to care for myself, he couldn’t either!!!!! I cannot write
Rx’s, admit myself to the hosp., order labs, etc. Presently I think my
nephrologist is doing more care for me than endo, though neph doesn’t
concern himself with my DM as much as my meds and kidneys.
