Edith Goudreault

Type 1 Diabetes, Diagnosed\u00a01991<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Endocrinologist:\u00a0<\/strong>Dr. Nahla Jilwan<\/h4>\n

Certified Diabetes Educator:\u00a0<\/strong>Sarah Blunden<\/h4>\n

Location:<\/strong> LMC\u00a0Montreal<\/h4>\n

At the young age of 11, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) brought Edith to the hospital and ultimately led to her diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Afraid of needles and worried about adopting a new lifestyle, Edith was also concerned about being a burden to those around her. Becoming a patient at LMC helped Edith take control of her diabetes by rediscovering the importance of checking her blood sugars regularly; by receiving \u2018complete care\u2019 from her supportive team of doctors, nurses and dieticians; and by participating in a life-changing clinical study.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before becoming a patient of LMC in 2015, Edith was first enrolled in our Lexicon 312 Study. Having struggled with her glycemic control, Edith was interested in introducing a new oral medication on top of her insulin therapy to help control and lower her glucose variability. After participating in the clinical study, Edith saw a drastic improvement in her blood glucose control. \u201cThe study introduced me to a new option for my diabetes – it made a difference,\u201d Edith told us. Having done clinical studies with other organizations before, Edith also noticed a major difference in the care and professionalism at LMC. \u201cI remember doing a clinical study on insulin at another hospital, but there wasn\u2019t any close follow-ups. I just did visits with the doctor. I think studies at LMC are presented in a more professional way; it\u2019s very reassuring for the patient,\u201d said Edith.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Edith, LMC\u2019s flexible appointment bookings make life easy when trying to manage a life with diabetes while having young children and a changing work schedule.\u00a0 <\/span>She also appreciates the warm and welcoming atmosphere. \u201cAt LMC, the ambience is very pleasant; it\u2019s fun to see the team. You are never judged and everyone is very understanding.\u201d When asked what advice she might share with prospective patients, Edith offered the following: \u201cAt LMC there are resources available; you don\u2019t have to live through it alone. Be patient with yourself and give yourself the time to learn; remember that diabetes management is learned step by step.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
