The UCLA Diabetes Program provides both primary and consultative diabetes care to referred patients. The program also incorporates key clinical research to investigate the pathophysiology, prevention, and cure of diabetes and its complications. Adult patients with both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are seen in the clinics and family members are considered an integral part of the care process. UCLA faculty physicians, nurses, technicians and educators provide patient care services. The Diabetes Program also works closely with other UCLA physicians skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic complications, creating a large, multidisciplinary network.
The UCLA Diabetes Program's areas of specialization include:
- customized diabetic therapy
- diabetes education
- continuous infusion insulin pumps
- distinguishing type 1 from type 2 diabetes
- continuous glucose sensors and analysis
- gestational diabetes and diabetes and pregnancy
- pre- and post-organ transplantation
- group classes
