Elba Lopez, RDN, AZ | Dietitian

About Elba Lopez

I'm a Bilingual (English-Spanish) registered dietitian with more than 15 years experience, Board Certified in Advanced Diabetes Management and Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist. My passion is diabetes management in all life stages since I've lived with type 1 diabetes since I was 15 y/o. Diabetes technology is my area of expertise; insulin pumps and sensors (Pump Trainer for Tandem, Ilet, OP5 and MDT) and devices reports use for helping improve care. Empathy is what moves my work as a dietitian, since I know how it feels to deal with a chronic disease. In Addition to diabetes I have experience in most areas of nutrition including weight management (Glp1 use in DM2 and DM1), cardiovascular disease, endocrine disease, and others. I'm here to help you get the skills and knowledge that can help you have better health .
