You are lucky to have Dr Shih!!! Too bad our healthcare system SUCKS and isnt work a dime. I hope he moves on to his own practice so he can actually do his job. I'd follow him and pay his price no problem. He changed my life as  type 1 Diabetic a year ago and numerous thanks to him!!! 40+ years of this chronic disease and he motivated more than anyone to shape up (though I had no known 'problems'). Now my A1c is 7.2 and headed down.   All your doctors should listen to Mastering Diabetes, a NYTimes Best Seller, evidence based results… cure Diabetes and they can be HEROS too :)
