FEATURED MEMBER

Name: Susan Tierney

Credentials: RN, CDE

Employer: Bayer Diabetes Care

Why did you choose the field of diabetes and what keeps you involved? It really chose me. I was working night shift at a hospital back in 1994. I responded to an ad in the paper for a day shift nurse in a doctor’s office. Turns out the doctor was Dr. Stephen Pohl.

Are you working on any interesting projects or committees related to diabetes? I am working as a clinical expert within Bayer Diabetes Care to help train sales reps in diabetes so they can function not only as sales reps but also as disease state experts.

What do you see as trends in diabetes care or education? I hope to see earlier diagnoses, more aggressive treatment, reductions in complications and improved quality of life for patients with diabetes.

What are your future career goals? Continue working in sales and continue to gain knowledge about diabetes to better serve the needs of the diabetes patients.

Discuss any personal hobbies or interests? Music, movies, travel, balloon animals.
