Sorry to repeat myself but I believe it enough to say it again: [im-making-a-run-for-the-border-the-canadian-one](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/im-making-a-run-for-the-border-the-canadian-one/1296/6) > [@I'm making a run for the border- the Canadian one](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/im-making-a-run-for-the-border-the-canadian-one/1296/6): > > I will tell you what I think is life-changing. Keep your current guy, but find a different Endo you like that is more reasonable, and have two Endo’s. > > And you would only need to see him once a year. So maybe you would have to drive an hour or two once a year. That’s no big deal. > > You can even call them and screen them a bit too. Just be up-front, say you don’t want to hassle over diabetic baby-talk, that you want to be treated like an adult and be able to try things like Metformin or Afrezza without a having to make a federal case out of it. > > Or you can just see an Internist or GP and get scripts. You’d still see your Endo once a year or whatever you need to, but you can get scripts from a different doctor to try. > > Once they have the confidence to try things a bit, I really encourage people to step out on their own if their Endo is not supportive. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/reasonable-timeframe-for-rx-update/1346)._
