I am not sure but I know all of my number have completely turned around I went from and a1c of 9.3 to yesterday went for appt and it was 6.5. The nutritionist is great I meet with her once a month to go over what I am eating and changes I can make and it has been a huge help. If it wasn't for the help that I have gotten there I don't know what I would have done. The thing I really like you can call them if you have concerns or problems and the will call back right away and answer any questions or adj meds as needed.

Hi all, I live in Phoenix and am new to the group (-:

Thanks for the comment regarding Mayo Clinic. I am considering looking into it. I have become very discouraged lately, and would really like to work with a supportive diabetes educator! Do you know if they follow the ADA guidelines, or are of the school of "tighter control" than ADA?

I go to Dr. Westphal at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale and also see the educator there and the nutritionist. I know how feel going someplace that your just not comfortable. The group at Mayo Clinic is great.

anyone know of any good endo's in the Phoenix area? I got kicked out of PCH last year (cause I was 22 lol) and have hated every one I have seen since.

Welcome Aaron. I would be interested to know what is the best thing that you have learned since being diagnosed in 1986.

I live in Tucson, Arizona and have had type one diabetes since 1986.

Hello all. I am new to TuDiabetes and look forward to getting and receiving good advice about our affliction...

To Brenna Collyard: I have a great endo that I recently started seeing and she is the one that got me on the pump. She is a very smart person that won't tell you what you want to hear she will tell you how it is, and she doesn't sugar coat anything. She may seem a bit abrasive at first but you will leave her office in appreciation as I did. Her name is Dr. Chioma Iweha (pronounced ~ eeway ha) she works for Panda Medical Associates and thher office is located in the Arrowhead area(83rd Avenue and Bell Road, Phoenix), and she has a GREAT diabetic educator that works in her office that trained me on my pump therapy...hope that is close to your general area...

Brenna? Thanks for your note. I am calling the diabetes education specialist this afternoon! Would you mind telling me what PCOS is? I see those letters a lot but don't know what they mean. I am tired all the time and it takes a great deal of willpower to get on the elliptical everyday. So far so good (o.k., well usually). I am determined though to find a comfortable spot in the midst of this little bit of discomfort. My fingertips hurt though! Does that go away? Let us know when you find a good Endo in your area. We will all keep a good thought!
