May 19, in an otherwise nondescript office building, the day ended, the doors closed, then reopened at 5:15. Suddenly, the large room, normally seeing diabetic patients, welcomed them back, along with 50 other guests, as the center was transformed for an evening of celebration. Dan Bafia, the owner, opened this center to help people with type 2 diabetes manage. In Sarasota County alone, nearly 10.2% of the population has a diagnosis of diabetes. With a significant number of people living with diabetes, the treatment finds a way to reteach insulin receptors to work again. “Health is my mission, finding ways of making things work in a very complicated world,” said Bafia.
