Collaborative Diabetes Initiative


The Bellevue Hospital Section of General Internal Medicine, in conjunction with the Division of Endocrinology, runs a targeted initiative to identify and comprehensively manage its most poorly-controlled diabetics (HBA1c > 10), scheduling them for an enriched Thursday morning clinic session.  Patients are evaluated by a team consisting of a physician, a nutritionist, a pharmacist and a social worker.  A diabetes nurse-educator is being recruited and will also become a member of the team.  Referrals are welcome!
