Transition from Pediatric to Adult Endo

Hi Faith @fliao welcome to Breakthrough T1D. heck yea it can be harder. For almost 20 years I had a love/hate relationship with my endo (long story) then she quit the industry and I had to find a new one. I used a tool from my insurance to locate endocrinologists near me and found a practice where the endos had their resume posted so I could pick.

IMO - Exceptionally smart people tend to be antisocial to the point of sociopaths… but I hope your experience is better than mine.

There is another thread here regarding questions you might ask, the thread is here: Finding a new endo - #12 by wadawabbit

I think it’s possible to find another doctor you can feel comfortable with who shares your preferences for technology and your own style for managing Type 1 without burnout. Technically speaking, your endocrinologist is your employee, so if you are not completely happy you may have to fire yours and look for better help.

Glad you are here! -Joe
