  How long before you eat your first meal of the day do you complete your bolus?
  I use Lyumjev in my pump, which starts working much faster than Humalog. So, I either bolus just before I eat or 5 - 10 minutes after I start eating depending on what my meal consists of (IE: How much fiber, how many carbs, how much protein/fat.)

  The frustrating part is waiting for the provider after arriving and.or waiting for call backs after leaving phone messages etc. And if this includes suppliers of strips, insulin, etc, dealing with irritating phone/chat delays ,,,,

  Two hours and fifteen minutes. Worth the drive.

  Does your endocrinologist offer Telehealth appointment's? I do two a year, so I don't have to go into the city, and have my every 3 months lab work done when I go for my every 28 day's oncology treatment. It save me time to have it done at that site, since Ill be there anyway and it's only 35 miles away, instead of 58.

  I said 1 to 1.5 hours, but it depends on traffic, road work, etc. It's always 1.5 hours, has taken as long as 4 hours.

  I live in the Puget Sound too. It's about 25 miles but could take anywhere from 30 -90 minutes.

  I am the real 3-sigma deviant here with 1.5 hours. I live 42 miles away (41.6 technically). But between poor road traffic, urban congestion, poor planning, and poor public transport . . . I need to allow at least 1.5 hours. And that is not including because of hurricane Ian flooding an extra 10 miles, an extra 10 stoplights, and an extra 10 minutes driving. How do you people travel further distance in less times? Super Sonic Transports, I guess.😒

  I don’t know where in CT you are but I have a wonderful endocrinologist in Katonah NY. It was about a half hour from Wilton. Her name is Dr. Rita Landman

  Used to be about half hour but I moved to TX. She’s in NY and I don’t want to switch.

  I moved from Boston down to CT about 2 yrs ago, but really loved my endo at Brigham & Women's, so I didn't look for a local person. It's about 2:15 to Boston. Now Medicare insists I see someone every 3 months to cover my pump supplies (which is absurd, my control is excellent--5.9 A1C at last test a week ago). So I guess I have to find someone local now. Sigh.

  My endo’s office is only 8 minutes away but he lives right up the street from me, which is handy as I run into him frequently while outside mowing or walking or riding my bike.

  When I was dx’d in 2013, my GP suggested I go to an Endo an hour away as the local one was really, really busy. I am happy with my Endo, however now there are two new ones in my town I could try to see! What a dilemma. I’ll be 65 in February and keeping existing federal health insurance and adding Medicare. I think I will stay put for now! That’s too many changes for the insurance companies to catch up.😬

  When I was driving it took about a half hour depending on traffic and weather conditions. Now that I use the paratransit service the latest I can arrange for pick-up is 45 minutes before my appointment, usually an hour before.

  Only takes so long because I ride the bus. The doctor is about 7 miles away.

  Really depends on traffic. I'm not that far but live in the Seattle area. I always allow at least 30 minutes to get there.

  3-1/2 hours. There is no Endo that works here.

  Takes me 30-45 min for the 12 miles only because of big city traffic and parking, sometimes an hour. She's worth it, though.

  It takes about 15 min to get to my endo's office from my house, but I've only seen her in person once, years ago. I've had telehealth visits every three months since then with her or with her CDE to comply with Medicare requirements.

  My son's endo is 1 1/2 hrs from us, but he comes up every 3 months at another doctor's office. He goes to the endo's clinic for his annual checkup 90 miles south of us.

  I intersperse visits to my internist with my endocrinologist's NP every three months....the internist is close...not the 45 plus for the NP.

  My old endo was very close. For my new endo I have to take the subway or bus (I prefer bus) and that takes close to an hour when I include the time spent walking to the stop, waiting for the bus and the ride itself. Then I have to do the return trip which usually takes longer.

  I just moved and don’t have an endocrinologist yet. I’ve made an appointment with a PCP and when I do see an endocrinologist I think it will be a long drive. I’m on Medicare and a PCP works for the 3 month rule.
