Information Request
I am in the process of collecting anecdotal information about Endos and
other caregivers who are either not in favor of the pump for whatever
reason, or offer what might be considered poor advice. In other words,
I am trying to develop data which could be used to show that there
exists a significant group of professionals not up to the standard we
think is necessary for good care.
I have noted many allusions to this problem on the list over the past
year or so. Anyone who would care to offer comments, please email me
personally (or post them, if of general interest) with anything you can
offer. I may be in a position to get significant publicity on this
topic in a professional journal, if enough data can be developed to make
a case.

David,
The first thing that pops into my mind since I’ve been pumping 17+ years and
just found out about carb counting through the ‘net in summer of ‘99, when I
asked my endo why I wasn’t and didn’t know about it, he said, "Stick to the
exchange system, it’s easier." He also congratulated me for A1c’s in the 7’s
and 8’s.
