Diabetic Care & Education

Dr. Sumer and the staff at ICPR Family Practice are passionate about treating diabetes. Whether you’re controlling blood sugar levels through diet alone or using insulin shots to help with management, we get you the tools you need to live an active, healthy life.

Experts in diabetic care and education, ICPR offers classes that teach you how to manage and control your blood sugar, so it doesn’t control you. We also have a new tool available, iPro™ Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), that will give us an even better picture of your glycemic patterns by testing your glucose levels continuously for three days. This new service will help us:

• Reveal low and high glucose trends not tracked by fingersticks and A1C testing alone
• Discover new insights to fine-tune your therapy and improve control
• Reduce your A1C level and bring it closer to the American Diabetes Association target of 7% or less
• Lower your long-term risks of eye, kidney, nerve and heart disease

The iPro™ CGM is also easy to wear and use. No implant is necessary... a tiny glucose sensor is simply inserted under the skin in a virtually painless process. Once inserted, the recorder (which is only about the size of a quarter) lays flat against your body and allows you to go about life as usual. It can even be worn swimming or in the shower! Working continuously, the iPro™ CGM records while you work, play and sleep and provides us with important information that will help improve your diabetes treatment.
