“I came in with an A1c of 11.4% and now it’s down to 7.4% in just 3 months, thanks to the team at Iowa Diabetes. My provider has been very considerate in helping me figure out my correct insulin dosing, which has helped me gain better control of my diabetes.”

“I’ve participated in two research studies with Iowa Diabetes, and can’t praise them enough! The team is lovely and goes out of its way to make sure patients are comfortable, informed, and supported throughout the extent of their research studies. Patients will likely work most closely with clinical research coordinators, but the entire staff is wonderful.”

“Outstanding, saved my life! If I could, I would give them 25 stars!! The portal is one of the best I have ever interacted with. The staff and Dr. B are kind, caring, and concerned for our best health. When I couldn’t get anyone to help in the CR area, Dr. B. came to my rescue. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“I participated in a study. The staff was extremely nice! Marcy, Kris, Kourtney, Erin, and Vicky were knowledgeable, sincere, and patient. When they ran into an IV issue they did not get stressed they worked through it. They made the time fly and the experience fun. They were very concerned and kept offering drinks and snacks. They took a true interest in me and I appreciate it. Hope to be able to participate in more.”

“I’ve had nothing but great experiences with Iowa Diabetes! The online zoom classes were super informative and helpful. I felt as if I was downing in confusion and scared. Those classes explained what Diabetes is, how it works, and how to successfully live with it. There are plenty of people to talk to and they are always available to give advice. I have recently visited the clinic for care. It was very positive and they made me feel really cared for. I recommend Iowa Diabetes to everyone!”

“I heard about Iowa Diabetes on Facebook. Everybody here is great! I went from 14.4 A1C to 8.5 in less than a month. This is the lowest my A1C has been in probably five years.”
