The Author

Enrique C. Fernández, MD, MBA, FAAFP

“Type 2 diabetes is not a singular failure. It is a network of connected loops, and every loop has a place we can intervene.”

A board-certified family physician with twenty-five years of primary-care practice, Dr. Fernández built the Network Based Diabetes Care framework at the bedside, translating physiology into decisions patients and clinicians can actually make.
