INSULIN CLINIC

...Because we know that managing your diabetes with insulin can be frustrating, and often cannot wait for the next office visit. [ Adult Endocrinology - For Ages 18 years or older ] The Insulin Clinic does not “take over” your usual long-term diabetes care or “replace” your routine provider however it was created to function as a source of support in the community, benefiting both the diabetic patients AND the healthcare providers by “bridging gaps in care”. If you are using insulin to treat your diabetes then you know that, “in the real world”, blood sugars patterns don’t always remain stable between visits and often require more frequent evaluation than can be performed in very busy local clinics, especially considering the prevalence of diabetes in Virginia. The Insulin clinic aims to “bridge” these gaps by offering evaluation and management online, from the comfort of your home (or anywhere). Your visit will be focused but not rushed, reviewing glucose levels/patterns together, and your insulin will be adjusted accordingly if appropriate. The intended result is to help you avoid any continued high or low blood sugars that could result in diabetes-related complications and emergency room visits. Increasing appointment slots, a “waiting list", and the opportunity for an “after hours” visit by request may soon become available to improve availability in the future, so check back if needed. The Insulin Clinic does NOT manage Emergencies. If you have an emergency please call 911. Insulin is the only medicine that is managed, and urgent refills can be provided when needed. A 1-2 week home blood sugar log MUST be entered into our portal just before any visit (you will be guided). All forms, insulin pump and continuous glucose sensor supplies (among other similar items) must continue to be managed by the full service office of your primary diabetes provider. There is one cash fee of $99 for all patients, aiming to provide & improve accessibility to as many as need this endocrinology service. Requires ability to interact online with a patient portal and telehealth technologies. I believe you will have a great experience if you ever need to visit.
