Hello Lucia,
I work at UMC here in Tucson and know of a few of them through our hospital. I am going to pass your post on and see what comes of it. At UMC Medtronic does a number of classes from carb counting to pump basics to advance pumping. that I will get the schedule for you on Monday.

I am a type 1.5 on the pump. I see Dr Barsony at Tucson Endocrine at Wilmont and Pima. I know that they have one that works out of their office too. I will message you directly to provide my contact info.

I live in Tucson. My endocrinologist is Mariali Garcia. She has a nurse-educator who comes in once a week at no charge, her name is Susanne Gould. They are both excellent.

Hi Lucia

I also live in Tucson. I have heard of Susanne Gould although I have not met her personally. I am a relatively new Type II Diabetic, about 1 year. I use Lantus daily. I am not satisfied with my control, (HgA1C usually 6.6-7.0) although I understand why that is. I do not exercise regularly and my diet could use some improvement. I have the advantage of being a nurse, so my mediocre control is due to non-compliance, not lack of knowledge. I do not see an Endo, but my Family Practice physician does a fine job. I am considering using an endo.
