Well he's not on a pump, he gets shots. the readings I have are from his glucose meter. It's not that his father is not well educated or scared, he's just in denial -- he's been trying to "disprove" the diagnosis ever since this started. And if his doctors here say one thing then he doesn't believe them and wants second opinions. However, yes he has pediatrician and endocrinologist up there -- however, his father last summer switched doctors and didn't bring records or contact his doctors here just to get his way -- he wanted a change in insulin and that was the only way he could get it. So that's what scary -- you can't do that kind of stuff. But I never thought of filing for an emergency hearing for this--as soon as I hear back from the doctor on his take of things I will know more what I should do. I will let you all know! Thanks for the reply!
