We are continuing to list doctors that have a working knowledge of DM.  Most doctors will not have any patients that have had DM because the incidence of the disease is about 1/8000 and the average doctor will have less than 3000 patients. Usually about 2000 patients in multigroup practice. Thus the burden is on you to educate the doctor or find a doctor that has seen many DM patients. These doctors come to us from our members reporting from their experience. If you know a good doctor please let us know so we can add them to the site.

I would like to submit to you two doctors who I found to be very interested  and knowledgeable. They both are affiliated with the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL, Shands Medical Center. I asked for their approval to submit their names and it was approved. These are  the doctors I am going to. I have great confidence in their abilities, and as you know that is half the battle.
