Nathan Wear and Ryan Massey, PharmD '09

Alumna Awarded for Advancements in Diabetes Patient Care

A member of the School of Pharmacy’s first graduating class, Diana (Jason) Isaacs, RPh, PharmD ’09, has always found diabetes to be fascinating. She has dedicated her career to advancing diabetes patient care through clinical services, professional organization involvement and scholarly activities. Currently, she practices as an endocrine clinical pharmacy specialist and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) program coordinator at the Cleveland Clinic Endocrine and Metabolism Institute Center.

“Almost 10% of the population has diabetes, and this percent continues to rise, meaning there are many opportunities to help,” Isaacs said. “I’m inspired by knowing that with the right treatment, people can live long and healthy lives.”

Her passion for delivering care and educating others on diabetes has led to being honored with multiple awards. In April 2019, she was honored as a distinguished Under 40 Award recipient for professional achievements and vision in the practice of pharmacy by the Ohio Pharmacists Association. The following August, Isaacs was again recognized, this time receiving the Educator of the Year Award from the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) at its general session.

Isaacs has initiated many new services at her health system to help those with diabetes, including a continuous CGM shared medical appointment program and a pharmacist-run insulin dose adjustment service for post-transplant patients. Additionally, she holds many leadership roles in diabetes organizations, which include serving as president of the Ohio AADE Chapter and communication director for the American Diabetes Association Pregnancy and Reproductive Health Interest Group.

“What continues to motivate me is that every day I use my skills and knowledge to make a positive impact in people’s lives. It’s the most rewarding career I could ever imagine.”
Diana Isaacs, RPh, PharmD ‘09
