Head doctor control

Hello, since I am in the forum, most of what I read I see that you carry it with the endocrine, I am type 2 diabetics for 2 years, and I never went to the endocrine, all the controls take them with the doctor ofHeader and the nurse, I really feel good, but it catches my attention, will it be for being type2?

thank you

Yeah.The specialist doctor always takes us to type 1.

The type of two tmb are treated by the specialist depends on you if you want to ask for the specialist ... but if you are doing well so that even what specialists know more! x Own experience I say it

In Spain, more or less depending on each region, it is regulated that the specialist is attended to Type 1 (almost always the endocrine and sometimes internal medicine) and to type 2 the primary doctor (header doctor).

Before changes (normally worse) from glycemic control and it is necessary to review the treatment for a type 2 (insulin, drug combination or need to see other complications) if an interconsultation can be asked for the specialist.
In fact it is frequent.

I have been eight and a half years with diabetes and until last summer the endocrine was not treated, before there was no way to control it and now since the endocrine of the Diabetes Unit is treated, I have best controlled them

In the early stages of this disease, the guidance of the family doctor is enough, and of course the collaboration of yours (discipline, diet, exercise, medication).Especially as long as it is not necessary to resort to insulin and be sufficient with oral medication.
Therefore I do not think you need to turn to the specialist and if they do well, because you continue with your doctor and hopefully many years without needing the endocrine.
All the best.

Thank you very much for your answers,, you are always of great help ..: D

What would be interesting is to find a doctor that was diabetic because I am fed up with me to touch me endocrine who do not know what the pussy is regular insulin.

I am guy1 and I go every 6 or 7 years but every time I see them more stunned, this time the endocrine that touched me, was like 5-10 minutes looking at the computer to find out that it was regular insulin, which as I imagine that I imagineHe used little I had no idea and told me that it was the same as the NPH.And I am almost certain that although I find the information I do not find out about anything.

In my personal opinion, much better to inform yourself one on the Internet and go quietly to the header doctor, which is not that you know of insulinas and others but at least I would not screw it up as much as the "specialists" and you will not touch so much the c ***** With tests and more tests.

Sherpa 41 I don't know what tests you mean, I'm going to an endocrine of the Diabetes Unit and the only tests that send me are blood and urine analysis.

Well, with view tests for example, they are usually heavier.Also with the results of the glucose meter, with the A1C, with the blood pressure, etc.In addition, I also asked me for an ultrasound of the kidney and pretends to do the blood analysis every 3 or 4 months, evidently his aunt's aunt will go again.

What do you want me to tell you, I consider those necessary evidence to be able to carry out good diabetes control.I utter that they do blood analysis every 3 or four months to do any.To me the header already sent me analysis every 4 months.I used to think like you, is more my header doctor or knew me but Raiz that gave me a myocardial infarction and discovered me diabetes, I do not stop going to the doctor and Hogala all the tests they have done to me are so littleannoying like those sent by the endocrine.

Annoying tests?
2 annual blood analytics, complete
Other 2 digital glycosiladas
1 eye background
1 electrocardiogram or 1 echocardiogram
1 annual urine sample to see microalbuminuria

If you ride it more or less well, in 3 annual visits you can do everything.

It would be better if there are hospitals during the day ... where you will enter at 9 and at 2 pm you will go out with the visit to the endo, the educator and all the analytics made and reviewed.

Better "waste time" in preventive tests than to find an advanced retinopathy, a microalbuminuria, etc.

Annuous tests?
2 annual blood analytics, complete
Other 2 digital glycosiladas
1 eye background
1 electrocardiogram or 1 echocardiogram
1 annual urine sample to see microalbuminuria

There are also visits.Annual visits for insulin recipes renewal, biannuals to the endocrine, bimonnsuals to go looking for strips, quarterly to the nurse ...

It would be better if there were hospitals by day ... where you will enter at 9 and at 14 hours you will come out with the visit to the endo, the educator and all the analytics made and reviewed.

That would be wonderful.I remember 35 years ago that when you went to the doctor, he himself in his consultation did the radiographs if necessary, his nurse took your blood to send her to analyze and practically they did everything there at the time.

Nowadays you spend your life from one side to another, (the endocrine I have it on the other side of Barcelona) and what is worse you spend hours waiting in medical consultations, that kills me and there are many timesto wait on an empty stomach being diabetic.Moreover, a diabetic friend had a bacterium of those so fucking hospitals.

There are things that really do not understand them.Many times we complain about the lack of evidence, but now with the cuts, but it turns out that we also complain if they do evidence - which only result in our benefit - because they are a can and lose time;We all agree that it is better to prevent and control our disease than to let it advance silently and that, in a few years, we have serious problems.But complaining about having an endocrine that cares about having "your" controlled disease and sending you a series of tests is note.If you don't want to make them, simple, don't do them, for you you do.To me, in the time I know that I am diabetic, they have done more evidence than in my previous 50 years of existence;ultrasound, electrocardiogram, thyroid, complete analytical -absolutically of everything- 4 times;Blood, liver tension, and that I have it fully controlled with a 5.2 gly.Of course, I have made all the parameters of my body work within normality.
The truth is that, particularly, hating doctors as I hate them, I prefer to have a professional who is small to do it by default, but for colors.

Who complains about the lack of evidence?:?

It seems to me that what we complain is basically the lack of material for diabetics, in fact the only reason I went to the endocrine went to see if it gave me more strips and I also told it.Well, I went out with them, but that with 5 or 6 flyers to do evidence that the header had already done to me little.

Logical Sherpa, if you don't go to the endocrine, if you don't know you, before you give you more strips it will have to see how you are going, how do you wear your diabetes, it is the most logical.Giving yourself more material without knowing how you control yourself and if you really want to control yourself, it seems to me an error, it is respectable that you do not go to the endocrine but just because you need material seems to me like little a nonsense;) and I say it with all the respect ehhhh .....: d
