Timothy replied to Lesliebusybee's discussion 'Endocrinologists for Type I in the Twin Cites (mpls)'"I suggest going to look for a diabetologist. It is a sub specialty of Endocrinology,
I have one in Los angeles. So that is not much help to you, but I found the Diabetologists are a better bet. I am sure There would be one in the twin cities. That…"
Laddie replied to Lesliebusybee's discussion 'Endocrinologists for Type I in the Twin Cites (mpls)'"I go to the Endochrinology Clinic of Minneapolis which despite the name is in Edina.

Nell replied to Lesliebusybee's discussion 'Health insurance and insulin pumps'"Smileandnod, you are correct. I don't know how non-gov retirees pay for cgm as none of the insurance companies will pay for it as a supplement because Medicare does not pay for it. I don't know why the ADA does not lobby for Medicare…"
smileandnod replied to Lesliebusybee's discussion 'Health insurance and insulin pumps'"My insurance is through BC-BS for state employees. I paid 20% of the cost out of pocket for my OmniPod PDM but nothing for the pods themselves as the pods are considered supplies (PDM is considered DME). I paid nothing out of pocket for my Dexcom…"
Nell replied to Lesliebusybee's discussion 'Health insurance and insulin pumps'"Leslie, I don't know if you got your question answered but I just saw your post.

Tim replied to Lesliebusybee's discussion 'Does dx of t1 in adolescence arrest development?'"I was diagnosed at age 14... many many decades ago.
It pretty much pushed me in the deep end (fired from my first job, OK it was just a summer teenage job) as far as "facing up to the real world". If it did have an effect I think it forced…"

I'm a parent of 2 t1's, one dx at 15 and one dx at 21 and After reading laura's letter i was curious if any of you have stories about feeling confident, resillient, competitive and then it seems once the diabetes hit - psychological development stopped Over the last 5 years, she has not been able to function at a job or school tho her physical health is ok and blood sugars in range. My question is whether others felt stuck in adolescence when dx at 13-16 and how you dealt with it. She's in…See More
