Quality Patient Care
Our Patient Centered Approach
We provide lifestyle education to both the person with diabetes, and when appropriate, to family members and care partners. Our team includes specialists in both adult medicine and pediatric care, including primary and specialty care physicians, nurse practitioners, certified diabetes educators, nutritionists, and exercise physiologists.
Our goal is to educate and empower the person living with diabetes to learn everything needed to effectively manage this complex and chronic disease. Our "North Star" or guiding principle is to provide treatments that help people avoid complications so that they can lead long, healthy, and independent lives, until the cure is found.
Clinical Trials
Ongoing clinical trials in diabetes at UMass Memorial Medical Center and the University of Massachusetts Medical School are focused on understanding how to improve the quality of life of people with diabetes.
