My son has been going to an endocrinologist for several years as he has CF related diabetes and takes only 1 injection of Lantus per day. His endocrinologist retired or died recently and they have not replaced him. Is this something a regular doctor can do? He is 14 going on 15.
He gives himself a shot everyday. I was referring at to whether or not a regular GP could write the prescriptions or if we really needed to go to an Endo. There is a horendous waiting list for the Endo doctors and really since his condition is so mild and he just takes a maintenance dose daily why not a regular doc. I just wasn’t sure if he could or not. If his condition progresses we will most certainly use a specialist.

I had a herniated disc in L3 that was a far lateral and difficult to find and remove in laproscopic surgery where the surgeon needed to move and manipulate the nerve to remove the disc material . And I cannot have PT for 3 more weeks as it has only been 3 weeks since the operation and my pain level is still quite high -perhaps 7 on a scale of 1-10. Perhaps I am impatient but life has become somwhat miserable.

I noticed when my hands are cold this is especially the case. I have tried deeper pricks, also warming my hand, swinging my hands to get the blood flowing to no avail. This is costly too because if it’s not enough blood my meter does not work. Today I tried three times failure every time. I’m 60 years of age does this have any effect?




Does Cinnamon (in pill form) help with diabetes?
