My daughter is being sent to an endo for adults now that she is 18. We loved her pediatric endo & now are looking for suggestions for a great endo in our area as well as any advise when looking for a new doctor.

@denab _ **Hello Dena, and welcome to the JDRF TypeOneNation Community Forum!** _ It is not customary for Members of this Forum to endorse specific providers; it is okay to ask and names of providers can be sent to you **through the private Message feature.** (The private Message feature is accessed by clicking on any user name or icon)
Finding a good diabetologist (that may also be an endo) is like selecting any other physician/specialist. What I have done successfully, is to ask medical personal whom I trust for recommendations and then interview from there. Her current pediatrics providers are the best place to begin. Also ask any provider that you have found to be good.

Dena @denab, another way to learn of effective diabetes providers is through networking - meeting others like you. This link is to the NC JDRF Chapter with a list of events - you just missed the _TypeOneNation_ Summit which I’ve found to be good events for learning.

I’ve switched doctors from time to time (endo and otherwise) and good as word-of-mouth recommendations are to start with, it’s only a jumping off point - people’s needs are different and the person who’s great for your neighbor may not be great for you. One thing I suggest is finding a group practice - if she’s not crazy about one doctor she can keep trying until she finds a good match.
I hope your daughter checks out the forum - there are a number of teens here she can connect with of she would like.
