i find this really good and very honestly doubt that it went thru legal. Us lawyers would've made a lot more clauses in this short letter. Either way, nice to leave on a note knowing that they are considering your issues and hoping to make changes.

I personally have told you that within the new group you choose, I've seen three different doctors and two different educators due to pregnancies or the difference between me now and me as a teenager. Even within the excellent team, I can get very different information. You have to click with your team on a number of different levels.

Best wishes. You really are doing fabulously.

Wow. I have been OUT OF THE LOOP!

I just went back and read your letter, and the comments that followed. Looks like it was received....

OH, the woes of lows...especially for these little people!!!!

After moving from MD to AZ, we rec'd conflicting information about managing a toddler. The only consistency we found was that little brains NEED glucose...as a result, we targeted an A1c between 7.8 - 8.5. When she was nearing her 5th birthday, we targeted an A1c in the mid-high 7's and, since shortly before her 6th birthday, we've been targeting the high 6's/low 7's.

Addy has that horrible history of HORRIBLE lows....it scares me beyond comprehension...what permanent damage those passing out, head hitting, gut wrenching lows could have done to her little developing brain :(

Heres the thing. Toddlers with diabetes are a rare breed...and they need attention from someone who is consistant...and knows the history. And it helps if this person is a doctor...not a nurse. I've had newly diagnosed as a baby...a toddler...and a preschooler...and I can tell you that the baby is FAR AND BEYOND a different world. The worry is ten fold. And to be put on hold...or worse...not even being called back, well...that is wrong on SO many levels. I'm not condemning the place you are leaving...I'm just saying I've been there. Families with babies that are newly diagnosed should have one go to person. And that person should be the cream of the crop. Just sayin.

WOW...outta the loop here in VT!!! I go and move, don't keep up on blogs and now look what happens. Laura...I am so proud of you! It looks like your letter will make changes or at least bring some issues to the forefront of the practice's conscience.

I totally agree with what meri said and yes I had a 6 yr old dxed and then me I was dxed at 16 . the dr was guessing that I had been a t1 quite some time before that and my son as well since some drs missed things they should have picked up but did not , none the less . yes issues are totally different with babys , toddlers and teens and adults . I would ? a medical team that did not think so . God bless you and your family I keeping all of you in my prayers . I pray that sophie comes out of this just fine .

Like Wendy, I just had to go back and read... I am sooo far behind. Can't wait till schools out!

You did a great job. I hope that your letter helps those that follow in your path. I am glad you found a place that makes you a bit more happy.

I am happy you got a response and that you were heard. I also love that they read your blog, cause that means that they may begin to understand your story and all that you do for Nate. I am also thrilled that you moved on. It is what it is. The team you have now for Nate sounds fabulous.

As for the comment about toddlers and the D, well, you know how I hate generalizations, so I dislike them even more when they come from medical professionals. Every child with D is a story of a child with D.

I woke up in the middle of the night with Sophie on my mind. Isn't it funny how someone you've never met can be on your mind. I'm so sorry she's going through this. I will keep praying for all of you.

Too little, too late.

At least they saved you the trouble of having to mail it.
