He is seeing his primary for diabetes care, which I am coming to the conclusion that we need to change. Since the kidney issue suddenly came up. I'm not confident with his primary right now, especially since I had to ask for a referral to a Nephrologist.
I will start looking for an Endocrinologist as well...at least finding out who is in our area and reading up on their history/credentials. I like that you point our the "specialized care" aspect for diabetes. I hadn't thought about that before. Thank you for that.

Many type 2s see their primary and it works well, but sometimes the condition progresses and is more challenging to manage. I’m no expert, but I am part of the global diabetes community and read extensively about it, attend conferences, etc. I’m type 1, but sometimes, Type 2 can require more intensive treatment even when you do everything right. So, it’s not the fault of the patient. Sometimes, when blood sugars are elevated, we blame ourselves. My endos have always been super helpful, nonjudgmental and well informed on the new and latest treatments. It may take a while to get an appointment…..good luck with everything.
