As a newly diagnosed diabetes patient, I had a 2:00 pm consultation with you yesterday at the Braden Center, and it was a lifesaver, maybe literally.

You gave us so much practical help, and thankfully that included info/directions on hypoglycemia plus a tube of glucose tablets, so we were shocked but prepared when George awakened at 1:00 am drenched in sweat, very cold, dizzy, and kind of stunned. Blood sugar = 57. We followed your directions, and my partner ate four glucose tablets. We tried to stay calm, and in about 20-30 minutes, he was out of danger at blood sugar = 101. If we had not had our consultation with you, we would have felt utterly panicked and just do not know with what result. So please add us to what must be a very long list of profoundly grateful patients.

We also want to thank you for everything else about our meeting with you. You really calmed us down and gave us so much to feel positive about, and for me, you really helped ease my fears. We have said to each other many times how lucky we feel to have been connected with you—along with all of your knowledge and experience, you have a truly exceptionally wonderful presence and we are so grateful to be beneficiaries of that.

The way the team at the Braden Diabetes Center explained diabetes—where you are currently at, and what you are trying to achieve with your diet. They provide excellent information! They are very knowledgeable, very calm and personable—during my time at the center, I never felt like I was going to a doctor’s appointment.

The Certified Diabetes Educators had a very dynamic understanding of what diabetics go through on a daily basis. I felt very comfortable at the Center, and I received good feedback from my care team. The Educator made some good suggestions about engaging in various exercises and athletic activities to help manage my condition.

The care I received at the Braden Diabetes Center left me with the feeling that I was more in control of my diabetes.

I was inquiring about a dietary plan to help manage my diabetes. I really appreciate that the Certified Diabetes Educators gave us an actual list of foods to choose from that you can buy at the store, including brand names, not just general food groups to try and pick from.
