UPC Center for Diabetes Education

More than 17 million Americans have diabetes (6.2 percent of the population). Of those, 11.1 million are unaware they are at risk or have the disease.

The physicians of UPC strive to provide the highest quality comprehensive medical care in eastern Oklahoma. Through our Center for Diabetes Treatment and Research, we offer a full spectrum of services including:

• Comprehensive evaluation and treatment planning for both newly diagnosed patients as well as patients with established diabetes.
• Meal planning
• Ongoing diabetes management based on evidence-based guidelines in consultation with the patient's primary care physician.
• Education and assistance with the use of insulin pumps.
• Clinical trials involving new and investigational medications are open to patients based on specific criteria as well as the patients desire to participate.

Whether you suffer from the disease or feel that you may be at risk, UPC's Center for Diabetes Treatment and Research can help. Our competent and specialized healthcare team is readily available to educate you in the necessary precautions you can take to help avoid the disease or provide helpful tools and information for successful diabetes management. If left uncontrolled, diabetes can cause blindness, strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure, and even death. Please contact a member of our staff at (918) 382-2551 to schedule an appointment today. Patients may be eligible to participate in clinical trials available in the Research Center.
