My father's diabetologist saved his life, although few credit her with the rescue. Most honor the 2 cardiothoracic surgeons, the many cardiologists, the nephrologist, or the pulmonologist. But those physicians intervened in crises. This wonderful diabetologist orchestrated the 10 000 days that constituted nearly half of my father's lifetime.
I wish to celebrate one physician's ability to inspire the daily discipline that living with diabetes demands. Our health care system poorly reimburses cognitive specialists. Physician colleagues also often overlook and ignore their heroic contribution.
