Ruby Favela-Prezas, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC
Specialist, Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes
Family Nurse Practitioner
I am a board certified nurse practitioner with experience as a certified diabetes educator. My interest is in treating and teaching parents and students about all related areas of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. My other interest is related to device technology which includes continuous glucose monitoring techniques. That has been my primary interest for several years. Teaching the parents and patients how to use the devices is something that yields good educational data as well as life-giving methodologies.
