At Intermountain, we perform focused exams and obtain a focused clinical history specifically relating to your diabetes. We monitor and help to manage complications and risk factors that may affect your health. We are interested in preventing problems and generally have regular follow-ups with you about every 3 to 6 months. 

Our expertise is specific to diabetes and specialize in insulin management, pumps and sensors, and oral glucose lowering medications. We also screen, monitor and/or treat co-morbid problems often associated with diabetes, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obstructive sleep apnea, kidney disease, retinal eye disease, etc. Flu and other vaccines are part of our services to protect you from preventable illnesses. We also have a clinical pharmacist on staff that can quickly take care of any medication needs that may arise.

Prediabetes Program

Prediabetes is a condition where you have more sugar (also called glucose) in your blood than normal—but not so much that you can be diagnosed with diabetes. There’s a lot you can do to decrease your blood sugar and reduce your risk of getting diabetes.
