Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / May 2008I need the words of an Endocrinologist
I have an immediate family member who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I need an Endocrinologist to attest to these findings and provide me with some proof that I can give to my family (if you can sign off as an Endocrinologist that would be helpful, too): "I've been an Endocrinologist for ___ years and in my profession I've found that 1) a loss of appetite is a symptom of diabetes and is not an eating disorder 2) Weight loss, in Type 1 diabetic patients, is related to a loss of appetite 3) Type 1 diabetes is not caused by the intake of fast food, junk food, or sweets, and 4) Many cases of diabetes are misdiagnosed and, therefore, may not be immediately treated. >I have an immediate family member who was diagnosed with Type 1 > diabetes.

Well, you're not going to find one here! Are there none in your area? > I have an immediate family member who was diagnosed with Type 1 > diabetes. I need an Endocrinologist to attest to these findings and [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > diabetes are misdiagnosed and, therefore, may not be immediately > treated. I have been a practicing medical doctor for 13 years and in my profession I have witnessed that a loss of appetite (anorexia) is a symptom associated with many life-threatening conditions including diabetic ketoacidosis of Type-1 diabetic patients but also starvation ketosis of patients with the eating disorder of anorexia nervosa. Dying patients are anorexic. When there is unintentional weight loss in any patient, there should be suspicion of anorexia. Neither Type-1 nor Type-2 diabetes is caused by fast food, junk food, or sweets. Type-1 diabetes is caused by auto-immune destruction of the insulin- producing (beta islet) cells of the pancreas. Type-2 diabetes is caused by visceral adipose tissue (VAT) leading to ever greater insulin resistance (IR/MetS) outstripping the waning insulin output of a deteriorating pancreas. Type-1 diabetes is easily diagnosed at hospitalization so that treatment is immediately started. Type-2 diabetes onset is often missed so that treatment is not immediately started.

Why can't the person who diagnosed them correct any misconceptions people might have?

If there is anyone who needs confirmation they should ask the diabetic for confirmation. If you can't believe what the say about their own medical condition and diagnosis you have problems we can't help with. If they are type 1, they are injecting insulin right now. If they are type 1 and not taking insulin they are in the process of dying.
