Type 1 diabetes is a full-time job you never applied for. The right specialist team — and the right technology — can hand a big part of that job back to the tools, so you can spend less time thinking about insulin and more time living.
We care for adults with type 1 diabetes across Northern Ohio, with deep experience in insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, and the day-to-day realities of managing blood sugar.
Technology-forward type 1 care
Insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors have changed what daily life with type 1 can look like. We help you choose devices that fit your life, get them set up and covered by insurance where possible, and — just as important — make sense of the data they produce. At each visit we review your patterns together and adjust your settings with you, not just for you.
A partner for the long run
Type 1 diabetes is a marathon, and your needs change over the years. Whether you're switching from injections to a pump, tightening control before a life event, or troubleshooting stubborn overnight highs, we've seen it before and we'll work through it with you. Routine follow-ups can often be done by televisit.
