Testimonials
International Diabetes Center consulting has worked with many health care organizations to help improve their diabetes care and outcomes. Here are some of their comments.
The strength of the IDC program is its clarity: it gives physicians specific guidelines about how best to treat diabetes, including targets we can customize for our organization and our individual patients. As any clinician knows, this level of specificity has been lacking in diabetes care.… Our success has been gratifying. Part of our physician education program involved establishing and monitoring clinical measures: blood pressure, hemoglobin A1C, lipid management, smoking cessation, foot exams – we have experienced improvement in all these measures. In addition, we have achieved American Diabetes Association recognition for our patient education program ... and are waiting for official recognition from NCQA. We could not have achieved any of this without the IDC and its expertise in teaching and commitment to education and patient care.

IDC facilitated a uniform, comprehensive team-based approach to managing diabetes. This has been successfully implemented at the Harbin Clinic and continues to reward our patients and physicians.
— Billy G. Chacko, MD, Harbin Clinic, Rome, Ga.
You cannot know how much your support and guidance have meant to me. I know we are providing better patient care, and the program financial picture will look much better in the future.
— Sandy Siewert, Lake City Medical Center, Lake City, Minn.
Working with consultants from IDC has been effective and educational for faculty and staff. Their guidance has helped us understand the importance of working as a team with our nurses, dietitian and endocrinology colleagues to develop better systems of care for our patients with diabetes.
