Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.
To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/ scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.

Public Health Service-Reportable Financial Conflicts of Interest. Cleveland Clinic scientists and physicians engage in basic, translational and clinical research activities, working to solve health problems, enhance patient care and improve quality of life for patients. Interactions with industry are essential to bringing the researchers' discoveries to the public, but can present the potential for conflicts of interest related to their research activities.

Dr. Shewbridge has been my care provider for around 30 years. He was the 4th doctor which I tried for treatment of my diabetes and he diagnosed me properly--Type I--all of the other physicians had thought I was Type II because of my age! Appreciate his help all of these years.

Underestimated my concerns over extreme low & high blood sugars when Caresource changed my insulin from Novolog to their generic Novolog. Would like CCF MEDINA to make a computer accessible to patients to download blood sugar readings once a month. I cannot get my Novolog insulin until July 1st. Doctors have to advocate for patients when insurance companies interfere with my doctor patient relationship. Aren't enough hours in the day for doctors to chase after insurance companies. Rather do a more in depth analysis like your physical therapy department does with their questionnaire. CCF & UH both have terrible phone systems, don't blame staff for that!!!

Up against a brick wall when insurance companies tie my doctors hands. I had the best A1c in February & Caresource ruined that by changing my insulin that caused erratic blood sugars. I almost had to call EMS twice from extreme highs & lows since being forced to use generic Novolog.

Dr Shewbridge's team is great, been going to them for many years. He noticed I lost a few pounds, but your printout shames us for being in the wrong BMI range. It would be nice if your printouts said: "Congratulations on moving towards your weight loss goal, keep up the good work" & what can we do to keep you motivated? It is extremely difficult for Type 1 diabetics to safely lose weight.
