If your endocrinologist is going on maternity leave, then she should provide the name of another endocrinologist to look after her patients until she returns. Happened to me and her fill-in was available until my endocrinologist returned.To the op who asked, I do have an endocrinologist, she's going on maternity leave in mid-May. She told me that she's returning to her practice in November, I don't believe her. Like all good mothers, which I'm confident she is, they don't leave their newborns until they stop breast feeding. I don't expect her back until next March.
My GP is young enough to be my son, he's super smart. I've talked with him about diabetes, he knows his stuff. Unlike my previous female doctor, he doesn't expect me to take "the unfriendly finger" every year.
