I go to Dr. Rosenblit currently. He's good. His office doesn't look like a high end office you'd think would be in Huntington Beach. But if you don't mind the little things, he's pretty good. He's the only endo that I've seen, so I really don't have anyone to compare him to. I can tell you that he is way better than a normal primary care physician (there are exceptions). What is the other dr's name in OC?

My father says there is a non-invasive glucometer being used in Italy that is being made in Isreal. I do not know if the FDA is checking it out. I really want this. Wouldn't it be great to have a second "watch" where you could look at it to see where we are at all the time. I think this would be better then the invasive CGMs.

Dreamer before you see Rosenblatt there are you few things you should know about his practice. And I have a better physician for you. Contact me. I live in HB, 52 years with diabetes.

Yes, I do realize that I am ultimately the only one with control over my diabetes, however I also would appreciate a doctor who is on the same page with me and will at least offer some support and/or helpful advice and words of wisdom in my efforts. I have terrible insurance and therefore I would like to at least get something more out of these expensive visits, along with my labs.

Thanks so much Mo, I will deffinitely give Dr. Rosenblat a call and let ou know how it goes! Thanks again.

Hey DiabeticDreamer - A Endo in HB you may want to look into is Dr. Rosenblat. I think that's how you spell his name. I have never been to him, but have heard some really good things about him. I haven't been to see him due to insurance and medical group BS. He's located off Main and Delaware if he hasn't moved. You may want to look him up. Let us know what you find out! Good luck and welcome to TU!

You do realize that you are the only one who can take better or worse control of your diabetes, right? I am currently revisiting "Pumping Insulin" and watching for trends with my BGs. It will always be difficult. I had the right basal at night, then I got a cold, corrected basal for that. Then I cut myself when my dogs made me trip and got an infection. Have antibiotics. Had to readjust night basals again. Pushing to readjust the rest according to program on 'pumping Insulin" then I plan to read "The Diabetic Athlete" recommended by another type 1. I have made my own spreadsheets for writing down sugars. I am still not happy with a lot of my sugars but I know I am the only one who can truly fix it as long as it is not due to those damn mechanical failures of my pump supplies like today and yesterday. Endo is mainly to get the A1C readings to see how you are fairing.

Hi I just joined and I was hoping someone could recommend a great endocrinologist in Socal. I have currently been seeing the same doctor for a few years now and dont feel like she is really helping me at all. Looking for someone who will put a little more effort into it and help me stay under tighter control and live a healthier life, my current doctor just doesnt seem to care! Help!

After August 7th, I will be able to meet up. I put in for a schedule change at work, so I will work on Sundays instead of Saturdays after the 7th.

Other than having the OC-DOC land in on the South Coast Plaza on their meet ups to see me, this'll be easier. I can hopefully go to see my d-Peeps as I won't work Saturdays for a while now. YAY!!

I'll look forward to the next meet up :-)

Yesterday's meet-up was a blast! We swapped "War" stories (Cherise's words!), ate a good meal, walked with our "personal tour guide"--aka: Arturo, ate homemade ice cream (delicious!! {;D ), and generally had fun! WHERE WERE YOU? HERE'S SOME PHOTOS. HOPE YOU CAN COME TO THE NEXT ONE!

I know having a 'Southern California' list is cool, but we are probably bigger geographically than many areas in New England.

Ppl forget we could travel hours to see each other :-)

I have yet to hear of ANYONE close to me in Costa Mesa willing to meet up. I met up with someone on this list and other lists from Ontario, CA-- and they came out here!
