Today, I met Wayne Palmer, PMHNP. He seemed like he knew what he was talking about. The only thing, was he said that “Diabetes 1 is: when ur insulin dependent & Type 2 is: Not on injections of Insulin”.
Very comfortable, knowledgeable, and efficient
He listened to what I said and gave me a plan that I will follow thru on
