Looking for a rheumatologist's second opinion on Paul's poorly controlled type 1 diabetes
A rheumatologist willing to review Paul's reports could help the family decide on treatment for poorly controlled type 1 diabetes.

Paul was diagnosed with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes in August. The local team has recommended an experimental drug. We understand it's an important decision, and we'd like to be sure.
We're asking if a rheumatologist - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Paul's reports and give a short opinion (a call of 20 minutes or a written summary). We'd gladly pay for any cost to your practice that we can afford.
We have scans, lab reports and the doctor's notes ready to share securely. We understand that you can't give formal medical advice without an examination, and we're simply looking for guidance on questions to ask and options to explore.
Thanks for even thinking about it.
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing Paul a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Hope things get better soon, Benoît. Shared this with my family.
You're not alone, Benoît. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Quezon City.
hope things get better soon, Benoît. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Looking forward to the next update. After 8 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Bengaluru!
Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Paul a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Paris.
Sending strength, Benoît. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

Your post was clear and honest. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

sending strength, Benoît. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Love from Sheffield.
