Second opinion needed: poorly controlled type 1 diabetes, St. Louis
Seeking a second medical opinion on poorly controlled type 1 diabetes; a 20-minute call or written review would help.
Anywhere in the world794 views
Mackenzie was diagnosed with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes in July. The local team has recommended immediate surgery. 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 Mackenzie'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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

- 20-minute call

So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Good luck, Riley. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Sending strength, Riley. 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.
Wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
