Thanks for your advise everyone. I think I will end up making an appointment with a neurologist. To answer your question KLD, yes, I am seeing and endocronologist. I've seen my endo a couple times but it doesn't seem that he wants to coordinate care with any other docs. He hasn't even advised me to have my eyes checked or anything like that. Thank God I have these forums to help me coordinate my own care. I have since made an appt. with an opthomologist (sp?) and it looks like I will be seeing a neurologist as well.

I've come to learn that I can't trust anyone to provide decent care for me. I have to do that myself. Actually, my general doc. (who stupidly dxd me with type 2 and said that sugars of 150 -180 were "good") didn't send me to an endo and if I didn't know any better would not have made the appt with the endo and have been properly dxd! My general doc is also the one who I feel delayed the treatment of my neuropathy because he never got all of the bloodwork reslults back 3 years ago when I had a bloodtest yet he signed off on them saying "labs good" when he was missing the CBC results. I didn't know any better at that time .

Sorry but I guess I had to vent there .

Thanks again everyone!!
