“No diabetes is an easy diagnosis, but I do want to say that type 1 and type 2 are very different diseases and managing them takes different approaches. Many medical professionals are more familiar with type 2 diabetes. However at the Taos diabetic clinic I was educated for my diagnoses and how to manage what I had and it made my adjustment a lot smoother. I feel that every doctor in Taos should use the resources that are available through the Taos Diabetic clinic.”
