When I first met Teresa she was so compassionate. She realized immediately that I was in denial, but she let me talk and tell her what I thought. She asked all the right questions and finally, a light bulb went off as my insulin pump was beeping. I was not hearing and she asked the most important question, "could I be in denial?"
I have had diabetes since I was 50 years old and received a pump at the age of 55. I am now 65, and Teresa has answered and helped me with all my questions about my diabetes. She has never once made me feel stupid. I now have my A1C from 13 to 5.8, 80-90 blood sugar, and completely in control and understanding my carbs, checking my blood sugars 4-6 times daily because I also produce no insulin now. Teresa helped me go through Medicare to get my insulin and all my supplies. Teresa has literally saved my life!

Thank you, Teresa, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
