Editor: Ninety per cent of diabetic patients are treated by their primary care physician and unfortunately only 14 percent receive education by a certified diabetes educator or any other nurse or dietitian. It is wonderful that Susan Riley, FNP, DNP received a grant to offer group diabetes education in the community. She has been offering this type of education through her husband's family practice office, where she is a family nurse practitioner, since she started working on her doctorate at GSU. This is a much needed service, and it is good that she chose to work with diabetic patients.
