When I left my old endocrinologist, I started up at the Barbara Davis Center, with Dr. Ray Gutin. My diabetes has been under good control ever since. The center has an effective check-in system, allowing them to check you in, get your co-pay, test your A1C, check your weight and height, download the data from your monitor, and get you into an exam room, all within as little time as possible. Dr. Gutin is a big difference from my old doctor, too. Instead of constantly criticizing me, he recognizes when I’m doing a good job of self-care, and praises me for keeping my sugars under control. Additionally, the center runs all kinds of studies and has plenty of support for their patients. I feel better about my diabetes than I ever did before, now that I’m a patient at the Barbara Davis Center!
