Sheri is the coordinator for our Sweet Success program at the outpatient diabetes center. She works in collaboration with the dietician and has more than tripled the number of mothers coming to the center to get educated on being pregnant with diabetes. With her assistance she has helped to decrease Macrosomia in babies born in the Sweet Success Program. Our rate is less than the national standard.
Sheri has developed her own class literature which has won several awards with Sweet Success.
Sheri is also active in the community as treasurer for the Orange County Chapter of Certified Diabetes Educators.
