The Penn
Rodebaugh Diabetes Center,
of the University of Pennsylvania Health System, is a
resource for consultation, second opinion, diagnosis
and ongoing treatment for patients with diabetes. Patient
education with certified diabetes nurse educators and
nurse
practitioners is available. Consultation and instruction
from diabetes nutritionist specialists is also provided.
Complicated patients
with special problems or multi-system disease are handled
by a team of specialists with experience in assessing these
problems, and who facilitate appropriate referral to other
specialists as necessary.
The muti-disciplinary
structure of the Diabetes Center makes it ideally suited
to evaluation of the most complex problems and diagnostic
dilemmas,
as well as more routine cases.
Ongoing research
protocols in new therapies of diabetes and its complications
are also available and offered to interested patients.
