Colleen Angeline Cook

I have 25+ years’ experience working as a hospital pharmacist and have dedicated the last 12 years of my career overseeing the management of patients with diabetes at a hospital in Minnesota. During that time, I have developed a strong collaborative relationship with my physician groups, and assisted an array of patients with diabetes care, and published work on a program I developed to help reduce severe hypoglycemia in hospital patients. I am also certified in insulin pump management. My passion, energy and drive to enhance diabetes care are the inspirations behind teaching this class.
