@karenps , do you have a teaching hospital nearby? Based on my experience, the endocrinologists at teaching hospitals have more providers who focus on diabetes. I have been under the care of Duke or UNC endocrinology for many years. My endo at UNC is highly focused and teaches diabetes. I know some people who just use their primary, but it’s difficult for me to imagine. The CDE is familiar with all the latest treatments and technology. They can teach you. They also have nutritionists on staff.

Good luck with everything. You’ll feel so much better when your numbers come down. This chronic condition can bring you down. I have had talk therapy before and found it very helpful.
