Question from Seal Beach, California, USA:
I’m in the Navy, due for a transfer within ten months, and my son has type 1 diabetes. Do you have any suggestions for some of the best places or hospitals known for managing my son? I want to get my son as close as possible to the best.
Answer:
There are excellent places in just about every major metropolitan area in the US, and there are naval facilities at lots of places, too. Offhand, for example, I know that there are naval bases (and local pediatric endocrinologists) around San Diego and Philadelphia.

[Editor’s comment: I would put together a list of potential transfer sites and show them to your son’s present diabetes team. Team members will be able to point you in the right direction.
