Overview
Jonathan Weber helps patients with diabetes at Yale Medicine’s Diabetes Center manage all aspects of their disease. He specializes in treating patients with kidney issues or other complications caused by diabetes.
“Working together with patients to find the best solutions to help them manage their diabetes and prevent diabetes-related complications is very rewarding,” Weber says.
He says he enjoys helping patients take steps to gain more control over their diabetes and make lifestyle changes such as eating healthier or exercising more to improve their overall health.
“I am interested in sharing what we know about lifestyle medicine along with current and emerging prescription therapies that meet patients’ needs and fit best into their lives,” he says. “The burdens that come with any chronic disease can be challenging. With a consistent and strong ‘therapeutic alliance’ between the patient and provider, I believe we can overcome any challenge together.”
Weber has practiced internal medicine for more than two decades in the Yale New Haven Health system.
