Diabetes Educators
Patti Murphy, RD, CDCES
Patti is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist with 10 years of experience in pre-diabetes, diabetes, and gestational diabetes. She works with patients one on one and in small groups to help them understand their diagnosis and how lifestyle changes can improve quality of life.
“I find such fulfillment in working with pregnant women and helping them make sense of their gestational diabetes diagnosis with practical, real-world advice and care.”
Off the clock: Patti loves seafood, which can be a challenge in landlocked Colorado. Whenever she is near the coast, she makes the most of it.
Liz Sasso-Karelitsky, RD, CDCES
Liz is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist from Morristown, NJ, with 7 years of experience providing individualized nutrition counseling.
“I'm a mom myself, so I really understand what this season of life is like. It means a lot to walk alongside patients through an experience I've personally had and help make it a little less stressful for them.”
Off the clock: Liz loves trying new foods and cooking, a passion aggressively not shared by her very picky-eater kids.

Services Provided to Referred Patients
One-on-One Diabetes Education and Nutrition Counseling
Certified diabetes educators and dietitians work with patients by video call to teach diabetes self-management and build meal plans around foods a patient already eats and can buy locally.
Free Connected Devices
Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and glucometers are shipped to the patient's home at no cost in eligible ZIP codes, with a call to complete setup and training.
Ongoing Glucose Monitoring and Medication Management to Term
Weekly glucose review with maternal-fetal medicine input, and recommendations for treatment adjustments sent to the referring provider.
How We Support Referring Offices
LilyPADS is designed to supplement standard in-person prenatal care. We work closely with maternity practices to provide informative glucose data, visit documentation, and treatment recommendations that support better outcomes for women with gestational diabetes.
Maintaining in-person obstetric care is a condition of participation.
Provider Update Letters
Our clinical team sends a one-page letter after enrollment and at each clinical milestone, covering current glucose patterns, time in range, topics reviewed with the patient, and any treatment recommendation from the maternal-fetal medicine director.
Glucose Data and Documentation
Glucose summaries and co-management notes can be shared directly with the practice through LilyLink platform access, PDF reports, secure fax, or EHR integration where one is available.
HIPAA Compliance and Privacy
The platform is HIPAA compliant, with data encrypted in transit and at rest and a business associate agreement executed before the first referral. Patient data is used for clinical care and required program reporting only.
