Living with diabetes impacts your life every day. The USF Diabetes and Endocrinology Center is focused on providing the tools, treatment, education, support and encouragement
to help you live your best life.
Our goal is to have our patients thrive with compassionate, innovative, state-of-the-art
care.
“Keeping blood sugar as regulated as possible reduces the odds of having complications
from diabetes,” said Henry Rodriguez, MD, professor of Pediatrics in the USF Health
Morsani College of Medicine and clinical director of the USF Diabetes and Endocrinology
Center. “Many of the therapies that we are focusing on, working on and conducting
research on are really targeted not only on improving blood sugar control, but lessoning
that burden day to day and hour to hour.”
The USF Diabetes and Endocrinology Center provides continuity of care and a multidisciplinary approach for all aspects of living
with diabetes, whether you have been managing your diabetes for years or have been
recently diagnosed.
Our team of experts includes four pediatric and five adult board-certified endocrinologists,
two adult endocrine nurse practitioners, a clinical social worker, and three registered
dietitians, as well as two diabetes educators specializing in diabetes technology
training.
