Testimonials

I didnt really take care of myself. Back in May, I went to my doctor and my A1c was 10.5% and I was sick all of the time. I am part of a study that Iowa Diabetes Research is doing, it’s a once weekly injection that I do. I have lost 42 pounds and lowered my A1c to 5.8% since the study started. My outlook is a whole lot brighter than it was, and I want to continue losing weight and getting healthier.

Tammy S – Patient

I want to thank you for the opportunity to participate in the Sanofi research study and hopefully, contribute to the advancement of Type 1 diabetes management. I also wanted you to know what a professional and caring staff you have at IDR, I worked most closely with Natalie who was terrific. Thank you for all you have done and what you are doing to improve diabetes care and treatment.

Denny D – Patient

I am very impressed with the positive attitude and willingness to help that everyone at Iowa Diabetes Research has! I have worked in the public a lot so I know how hard it can be to keep such a positive attitude when dealing with people. The staff here are so pleasant and it can really change your whole day!

Kate R – Patient

This program has slowed me down & re-educated me to pay attention to the things necessary to control the diabetes. my a1c was reduced from 7.5 to 6.5. the people are fantastic & do excellent work.

Dave S – Patient

My A1c adjusted from 7.2 to 6.7. I attribute this to tracking and accountability of the study. The staff are great too, IDR is a wonderful resource for the Des Moines Area.
