Insulin Pump Management
Considering an Insulin Pump…
Considering getting on an insulin pump, but never been on one before.
Had a bad experience using one in the past and just NOT sure anymore?!
Technology can be SCARY!
Especially if you have always managed your glucose one way... The thought of going through all the changes can stop you in your tracks. But…. with the technological advancements in our day and age, it would be a disservice to you to not explore the options and see if we can find a good fit for you.
Here are some of the benefits that insulin pump management can include:
Eliminating injections
Improved blood glucose control
More targeted/personalized basal rates
Reduced risk of Hypoglycemia
Less “roller coaster” glucose levels
Data tracking
Overall Improved quality of Life
Still unsure….
That’s where I can help!
Together, we will figure out what plan of action works best for you and implement this plan! You will get support along the way and truly understand the what and why’s of insulin pumps and learn how to implement strategies for system optimization, with me right by your side!
Currently a “Pumper”!
Or.. maybe you are currently a “pumper” and just feeling as though you are NOT getting the benefits you were promised since starting on the pump.
Let me help!
I will thoroughly assess your pump data and review your current settings. We will discuss in depth what you are doing and what you can do for positive change.
For example, does it seem like every time you take a carb bolus, that your glucose tends
to spike and stay elevated for quite some time? Or every time you take a correction,
you seem to bottom out within 2 hours? I can help you better understand
insulin to carb ratios (ICR's) and insulin sensitivity factors (ISF's) and how to
effectively adjust them on your own!
These systems are beyond beneficial in the management of your glucose, but they can be very intimidating and complicated if the proper education and follow-up isn’t provided.
Life changes have you off track?
Things CHANGE.. Often, I see clients who are managing their diabetes with their pump very
well and have been hitting targets for quite some time and then a life event changes it.
I provide the support to help get you back on track and feel empowered again to take full control and effectively manage your glucose again.
Don’t keep doing this alone!
Reach out and let's set and hit those targets together!

Pump User Testimonials
"Beth, as a major part of my Diabetes management team, introduced
me to the Omnipod 5 insulin pump system to be in constant
communication with my Dexcom CGM. As a Type 1 diabetic
that has a very active lifestyle both with work and personally
this has changed my life completely for the better.
Beth initially interviewed me, gathered my health info, my endocrinologists' recommendations, my lifestyle and my diabetic difficulties
and used this info and my glucose level data to
develop a program customized for me.
This program, the use of the Omnipod pump and Dexcom CGM and her guidance throughout has helped me avoid the daily injections and
the associated pitfalls and has reduced my A1C levels from the
9’s to 6.2 - 6.5 and my life with diabetes has become so
much more manageable.
I am so grateful to Beth and my team for helping me live a better controlled life with diabetes."

"Beth has provided expert guidance and advice to help manage
my diabetes for the past several years. She is very
knowledgeable and able to interpret data and explain test results.
She recommended I use an insulin pump and continuous BG
monitor and taught me how to use them.
She worked with my doctor to make adjustments in my
insulin dosage and timing. She suggested many helpful changes
in diet and exercise. My BG and A1C have improved dramatically
as a result.
Beth is patient and nonjudgmental and takes the time to
understand and answer questions thoroughly. She is a pleasure
to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of
professional advice to help successfully manage their diabetes."
