Well, here's "Dear Ellie" 's dilemma of the day:
Went to Disneyland yesterday with D14, her boyfriend, and a mutual female friend of theirs. Very sweet girl. I noticed during the course of the day that this girl has physical signs suggestive of a medical condition (hyperinsulinemia - possibly due to PCOS or just to her obesity). I think she could probably be helped by current treatments, and this is a sometimes overlooked condition - just not sure how to bring it up with her parent(s) whom I don't know at all. (Parents are divorced, too, so that dynamic may be weird.)
I don't want to be a buttinsky, but I suspect this girl's quality of life and health could be greatly improved with a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Just not sure how best to bring it up.
