I originally started out my diabetic life type 2 with oral meds 10 years ago, but in the last year or so I'm now injecting insulin (slow and fast acting). Does anyone know of classes in the Phoenix area I could attend to catch up on what I need to know? I miss working for a big company where their health plans had such things

Good luck with your appt if you have not had it yet and if you did update us on your progress. Ask lots of questions (even if you think they are not that important) make sure you have a person to contact following your appt. if you have additional questions........... Good Luck...... : > )........

Hi I live close to Tucson and I am a LADA diabetic. Will have my first Endo appointment in Tucson soon, any recommendations?

For people in the Phoenix area, I saw Dr. Kelly by Paradise Valley Hospital. he works out of Anasazi Internal Medicine (he is an internal doctor not an endo) but he has type 1 himself and I LOVED him!!!!!
