Thanks for writing. There are several excellent posting on these pages with information about doctors and health insurance. The section on doctors and hospitals is a good place to start. Our expert Dr. Bill Quick has a helpful journal entry with tips on Finding a diabetes specialist. He also recently wrote about When to Refer to an Endocrinologist. David Mendosa is an award-winning writer who has written extensively about all aspects of living with diabetes. His article on Advice for Newbies in the Newly Diagnosed pages of MyDiabetesCentral.com discusses the importance of having a solid health care team not just one doctor. David's recommendations on Health Insurance Options may help you find other resources. Your symptoms could be related to other conditions. You might want to review the Harvard Medical Symptons Reference on these pages. Your health care professional should be able to help you get a diagnosis or any necessary tests to determine your condition. Be sure to stay in touch with the community on these pages.

I would suggest talking to friends or someone from church to see who they use for a doctor or calling the hospital in your area for a referral list of doctors.
I am not an expert but I have experienced the same and was diagosed with carpal tunnel back in the early 90's. Today there are other medical issues that can cause the same symptoms. Diabetes, Heart Problems and so on.
Insurance coverage also can very state to state. Have you checked where you work? Do an online search there are many compainies. Also call your local insurance agent and see if there company offers health insurance.
