Anna, I checked the CDA website, and there are no groups close by. Besides, TuDiabetes is my support group, and I can come in at any hour, and there is always someone willing to help.
Luckily I’m working down the street from all the huge hospitals in Toronto. I’m lucky enough to be working close to doctor heaven - in the big city where so many doctors want to be. So even though there aren’t a lot of doctors in the area where I live, the shortage isn’t so critical where I’m working. In my town, there are exactly zero doctors taking new patients, and in the town nearby, a few clinics are taking names for lists that are months long. I at least have some hope for finding someone close to work, and by the time they are ready to see me, I’ll have a few months under my belt.
I’m disappointed in my endo and frustrated with the fact that I’m looking for doctors again (which of course inspired this post), but I got through this before. I went through some pretty rocky years following the year that my endo died and my gp retired! So I shall get through this too… just about a gazillion phone calls and months of waiting. That’s all. In the meantime I’ll think healthy thoughts LOL
