Thanks for the guest blog. You touched on a lot of important things that I agree with. My husband has been T1 for 27+ years. He stopped counting how many “cures” he was told about and instead has focused on living with it. When there’s a good cure, a valid cure, and one that works, then he will listen. But I agree–education, awareness and a positive attitude like yours goes a very long way for now!

Andrea-

thank you so much for allowing me to guest blog:) After the past weekend events at DRI and the Tweets I read coming from Sara, Kerri, Manny and Allison…I believe a cure is around the corner.

Thank you soooooooooo much.

Hi Ms. Bradley;

Thank you so much for your kind words. Sometimes it is difficult to know if I am getting through to patients and so reading what you have written lets me know that the answer is YES! Getting a patient to understand and become proactive is key which is both good and bad.

Those patients who want to be proactive, like yourself, are very much in tune that we both have the same goals. Other patients feel that the questions I ask are personal and so they leave the practice. Unfortunately the most obvious example is, believe it or not, diabetic patients. All diabetic patients will be asked their RBS, H1Ac, and permission to have their eyes dilated at every appointment. Some patients do not want for me to point out that they are not following their diet recommendations, not loosing weight (if that is needed), or that their blood sugar or H1Ac is too high and so they come once, maybe twice to my practice and leave to find a different doctor who does not ask these questions. I hope that your readers learn about retinopathy and the importance of eye dilation so that they can ask themselves if they are getting the standard of care that all diabetic patients should be receiving. All the best to you and your boys.
