Eden Miller DO

Eden Miller, an osteopathic board-certified family practitioner, received

her medical degree from Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine

in 1997. Returning to the Northwest, she completed her residency

in family practice at East Moreland Hospital in Portland, Oregon. Recently

completing her certification in obesity management, she is the

founder of Diabetes Nation, a nonprofit organization, and CEO of Diabetes

and Obesity Care LLC, where she practices with her husband

Dr. Kevin Miller in Bend. Miller has cultivated a special interest in diabetes

after contracting type 1 diabetes while in medical school. Out of

that personal experience, her practice has extended into a subspecialty

in diabetes care. An impassioned speaker, Miller has given over

1,250 lectures in the field of diabetes to health care providers and patients

alike on subjects such as diabetes management, CGM technology,

insulin pump therapy, obesity and metabolism intervention,

clinical research and health care policy. Her adage for care is that she

only succeeds as a provider if she turns patients into experts on their

own disease. Miller believes that a physiologic patient-individualized

approach to diabetes intervention is crucial to success. She feels if our

nation is to triumph over the ravages of diabetes, it will take a collaborative

effort—unhindered by fear of personal scrutiny. Additionally,

barriers to effective treatment need to be removed. For her, diabetes

and obesity care provides the foundational model to impact the people

that represent this disease and begin the process of restoring hope

back to their lives.
