"As a mom of two young girls, I approach my patient care as I would appreciate a provider doing so with my children. I strive to empower families and patients to understand their diabetes and to feel confident in the management of their condition."

Bio
Raube specializes in the care of pediatric
diabetes patients as well as patients with thyroid disorder. She works with patients and their families in
maintaining a healthy life while managing diabetes.
Previously an RN on
the CHKD inpatient unit where diabetes is cared for, Raube worked with many
families in the first days of diagnosis and during their recovery from acute
exacerbations. She is proud to now play a
bigger role in this process as a provider with an exceptional team of
physicians and diabetes center staff.
Additionally, Raube is the primary
provider for CHKD's START adolescent transition clinic, in which she works with diabetes educator
Debbie Miles and social worker Andi Decenzo to educate and
assist adolescents in transitioning to adult care.
