After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MDâs change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,â he explains. âAchieving that can take several months of very close follow up.
