- HOW IS OUR DIABETES THERAPY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TREATMENTS?
At Florida Diabetes & Endocrinology, we use a patented approach to diabetes therapy that utilizes insulin as a hormone rather than a drug. By using insulin in a way that biomimics normal physiology, we aim to reduce insulin resistance, which helps blood sugar more readily enter each cell and be converted into energy. With increased energy, damaged tissues and organs may have a better ability to repair, regenerate, and grow.
- DO YOU WORK WITH MY DOCTOR?
Yes, we collaborate closely with your primary care physician and any other healthcare providers involved in your care. Our goal is to ensure a seamless and coordinated approach to your treatment. We believe in a team-based strategy where communication between your healthcare providers is key to achieving the best possible outcomes for your health.
