Welcome back. There are 3 endos in my area of 200,000. Not sure how that
compares to where you are. All I know is that it took 8 months for my son to
get an appt with my endo (bearing in mind it's not the norm in Oz to have
endos who mostly deal with diabetics as I have heard some in here say
happens in the US. Ours take on whatever patients with endocrine problems
get referred to them). As an established patient I don't wait that long.

Hi Ozgirl

I was trying to discover endo numbers in Australia - without
success - but while browsing through
http://www.mja.com.au/index.html I came across this very
interesting page of links to papers you may find worth
looking at:

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.
