When I regain full custody of my son, his medicaid coverage will also be terminated so I will have no choice but to return to the previous care provider. They don’t provide the type of insulin he has recently been changed over to, and I have no faith in the previous care provider and his treatment plan. Is there any type of program or services that can assist me so I can keep his new doctor?

My fiance, who has had diabetes for a year and half, has been taking one shot a day of NPH since his diagnosis, and his sugar has been fine, but for the last month or so, he has been running higher and higher. He does not have a diabetes team, his family physician is now hundreds of miles away, and I called every endocrinologist in the area, but no one will see him. What should we do? Should he see a doctor? If so, where?
