top endocrinologist

A:I had tumors on my thyroid and had it removed when I was seven years old. I would definitely talk to an endocrinologist, if I were you. No matter whether the advice you were given was good or not, the endocrinologist will know what is best for you. Baylor in Dallas is an excellent hospital. They've done all of my thyroid related surgeries.

A:My son is older than your daughter. He just turned 8, he was diagnosed last July, just before his 7th birthday. He is on an Animas pump and we LOVE IT!!!!! There are quite a few little ones on pumps. I get on the American Diabetes Association website quite a bit with questions. There is a message board there called 'The Place for Parents". There are so many parents on it and I can not even begin to tell you how much they have all helped me this past year. I am not big on message boards and never have been but this one is so informative, caring, and understanding. Noone can know what it is like raising a child with diabetes but another parent of a child with diabetes. There are quite a few on there with pumps, I am pretty sure there are some who are your daughters age that are on a pump. If you can I would go and post this question to them. They are a GREAT group of people. Good luck!!! Here is the direct link to the Parents board: http://community.diabetes.org/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&webtag=adaparents

But the pay also varies greatly. :)

A:Got this from the diabetes.org web site: Foods high in starch include: * starchy vegetables like peas, corn, lima beans, and potatoes * dried beans, lentils, and peas such as pinto beans, kidney beans, black eyed peas, and split peas * grains like oats, barley, and rice. (The majority of grain products in the US are made from wheat flour. These include pasta, bread, and crackers but the variety is expanding to include other grains as well.) The grain group can be broken down even further into whole grain or refined grain. A grain, let's take wheat for example, contains three parts. The parts are the bran, germ, and the endosperm. The bran is the outer hard shell of the grain. It is the part of the grain that provides the most fiber and most of the B vitamins and minerals. The germ is the next layer and is packed with nutrients including essential fatty acids and vitamin E. The endosperm is the soft part in the center of the grain. It contains the starch. Whole grain means that the entire grain kernel is in the food. If you eat a whole grain food, it contains the bran, germ, and endosperm so you get all of the nutrients that whole grains have to offer. If you eat a refined grain food, it contains only the endosperm or the starchy part so you miss out on a lot of vitamins and minerals. Because whole grains contain the entire grain, they are much more nutritious than refined grains. ---- I don't believe that peanuts have much starch, so PB should be fine.

A:drink. water. lots of it. a well hydrated body is easier to draw blood from. no alcohol or coffee though...those dehydrate.
