Who does your insulin and diabetic supplies prescriptions, a specialist or your family doctor?
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.

A regular doctro can hlep, but due to your son’s unusual condition, you NEED to fidn an endocrinologist soon.
yes his family dr can give lantus but why not u or himself? i have been giving my own since 1993 and it is much more cost effective to have dr order the insulin and syringes and tell u how many units u give each day.I dunno about ur insurance and copays but u wouldnt have a dr visit everyday.hope this helps
Neither. I buy all my meds. over the counter.
per pill
I live in thailand.Metformin $.012 500 mg
Amaryl .53 3 mg
Anapril .03 5mg
Mecobalamin .12 500 mcg
So cost less than $1 a day
Blood tests( complete)plus doctor every 3 months $35
Do the specialist route. Most doctors know less than a hill of beans about Diabetes
