RESEARCH AND METHODS
To help others benefit from his experiences and processes, Cliff began reaching out more directly to the diabetes world to teach the Scherb Method ™️ a program and system he developed from from years of coaching, racing and Tristar Labs testing. Glucose Advisors algorithms and methods are taught by our advisors and are incorporated into apps, insulin pumps and other technologies that address diabetes exercise and nutrition management. Cliff and his team teach this next generation decision support system to Type 1 diabetics looking to live a more active and healthy lifestyle.
