My daughter is Type 1 and we just moved to a new state and had a really tough time getting her in to see an endocrinologist. The earliest appointment time they had was 6 months out. Needless to say a miracle occured and we were able to get her in sooner. What I have heard from her endocrinologists in both states is that the number of children with Type 1 seems to be going up by leaps and bounds and there is a shortage of endocrinologists to deal with the demand. Every time we go to the endo, we sit in packed waiting rooms and wait hours to finally see the doctor. I don't know what the actual statistics are but it would be interesting to know if Type 1 is really on the rise. But Type 1 is not caused by diet, so I really don't know what the answer will be to curb its occurence. I know they are having some successes with the possible cure which would be an amazing medical achievement!
Roses to AGD for its contributions to the fight against Diabetes!!
