Lance J. Brownstein, MD, has joined Faxton St. Luke’s Healthcare as an internist with the Adirondack Community Physicians Washington Mills Medical Office.

The iPro Continuous Glucose Monitor (iPro CGM) for healthcare providers is now available at Central New York Diabetes Education Program (CNY Diabetes) at Faxton St. Luke's Healthcare (FSLH).

The iPro CGM offers a key clinical insight that will measure, store and report glucose levels in the interstitial fluid. The iPro system is comfortable to wear and easy to use. CGM shows the whole picture of glucose levels, not just snapshots. It provides insight into glucose trends between finger stick testing, leading to improve knowledge and control of diabetes.

At age 33, Eva Grayzel was bounced among healthcare professionals for more than two years while the ulcer on her lateral tongue became more prominent and painful. Even though she never smoked or used alcohol, she endured a partial tongue reconstruction, a modified radical neck dissection, and a maximum dose of radiation therapy following her diagnosis of late stage oral cancer.

Dr. Thomas Mathew and the clinical research department at Slocum Dickson Medical Center in conjunction with Faxton St. Luke’s Healthcare (FSLH), recently completed the PLATO study (Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes), which was presented to the European Society of Cardiology Congress in 2009 and published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
