My son has had diabetes for only 10 months, and we are moving from North Carolina to Ft Worth, Texas. How do I find a “good” doctor? I don’t know anyone to get a referral from, and I’m nervous about landing in a new state without a doctor. We sure do not want to end up in an emergency room.

I have type 1 diabetes, have spent most of my life in and out of the ICU, and almost died several times from DKA. I have felt a prisoner in my body my entire life, and I was never able to attend school. was also in a severe car accident and now have a bulged disk in my back. Are there any programs that offer grants or scholarships to people with diabetes who have suffered as much as I have and want to study from home?

My 22 month old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes five months ago, and I go back and forth between accepting the situation and then being highly motivated to find out what can be done. Is there a best way to remain up-to-date on upcoming treatments? Is there a way to know what the chances are of my daughter actually being able to receive one of these treatments?

My three year old granddaughter has no energy, is lifeless, has fever, vomiting, a craving for chocolate, and had sugar in her urine. The doctors did not explain anything and sent her another hospital. Could that mean she has diabetes? How do we find a doctor to take the time to answer our questions in layman’s terms? We are very dissatisfied with most doctors we have met.
