Diabetes Education
Susan provides care for people with prediabetes, type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
A majority of people with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes don’t know they have it. When they feel unwell or tired, they may think it’s because of other life stresses. But there is a window of time for people who are newly diagnosed with diabetes to reverse a diagnosis.
Susan is passionate about creating a welcoming and judgement-free environment where her patients can get the education, tools and encouragement they need to stay on top of their diagnosis. If you’re newly diagnosed or trying to keep your diabetes in check, don’t wait—reach out today.
