Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes:
Virtual Caveats:
- CDE: I don’t have a CDE in this clinic. If you have need of a CDE, you may need to seek one through your primary care office.
- Pump: If you are on an insulin pump, you will need to be tech-savvy (I will not be able to make changes on your pump in virtual visits). If you need hands-on assistance, better to see an in-person endocrinologist.
- We can set up data-sharing between your pump or sensor and the clinic to be used at appointments.
- Libre Clinic Code: Enlighten
- Dexcom Clinic Code: Enlighten
- Issues with foot infections or pump site infections may require you to seek care with an in-person clinician.
Clinic Expectations:
- I generally recommend insulin pumps.
- I have extensive experience with Medtronic, Tandem and Omnipod pumps.
- If you are interested in a different pump, we can learn about that too (together).
- I support patients who follow ketogenic/low-carb diets in Type 1 Diabetes.
- We can also explore new emerging therapy options as they develop!
- I can see you monthly, quarterly, bi-annually or annually (hoping to minimize disease and co-pay burden, but recommending that you meet the requirements of your insurance company).
- Annual labs, eye exam and foot exam are recommended

Clinic Expectations:

- If you still need insulin, I can prescribe it with injections or insulin pump.
- If available, Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) can be very helpful, and I’ll try to help you get access!
- Annual labs, eye exam and foot exam are recommended
Diabetes in Pregnancy:
Clinic Expectations:
