My 12 year old daughter has type1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, and asthma. I have rheumatoid arthritis, Grave’s disease, asthma, and irritable bowel disease. I am aware that it is not rare to have a combination of autoimmune diseases. Is there a physician specialty that would treat this combination of autoimmune disorders? It is very difficult to receive care from several different doctors that have no expertise or understanding of the entire health picture.

My seven year old daughter was diagnosed at age three. I don’t feel like I have had time to really focus on meal planning, carb counting, and just her overall care the way I would like due to the long hours that I have to put in at my job. I am interested in taking FMLA time off to gain better control of my daughter’s blood sugars, but I am not sure if I would be eligible.

As a result, he is thinking of going on the insulin pump, but he does not have insurance. Do you know of anyone who offers financial assistance for a pump?
