Kim, I can't address the issues you are dealing with. The advice the other folks have provided about getting a new doctor sounds good to me. If you are taking your daughter to Columbia, then I'm guessing that you probably aren't that far from St. Louis. I have been very happy with the endocrinolgy group at Cardinal Glennon Children's hospital. If I can provide you with additional information please email me at jdoll@mail.win.org. Janet
