As part of her clinical role, she developed the type 2 diabetes management and insulin pump guidelines for the Washington state prison system and leads the system’s Diabetes Workgroup. She helped introduce a lower-carbohydrate diet to prisons around the state for people with diabetes, and much of her clinical practice focuses on seeing incarcerated patients who have an A1c >9%.
