Precina Health
Precina Health is a medical practice offering a better approach to diabetes and chronic disease. Precina helps patients feel better, faster.
Our diabetes and chronic care practice monitors patients’ conditions every day - just as they do. Our practice combines medical care with social workers to address the complex challenges of controlling diabetes and related conditions. We meet with patients consistently and give them unlimited access to our clinicians for any question - all from home. We make small changes that lead to big improvements in how patients feel. Dr. John Oberg (DSW) started his healthcare career before the age of 10 when he was filing patients’ charts in an orthopedic surgeons’ office that his mother managed. In 2014 he co-founded Sedera, a medical cost sharing organization. Sedera is perennially considered a “Best Place to Work” and was ranked #193 on Inc.’s list of fastest growing privately held companies. John continues to serve on Sedera’s board of directors. For years John has been an advisor and consultant to the healthcare industry. In this role John met Dr. Dustyn Williams (MD), lead educator at OnlineMedEd. Dustyn shared his clinical experiences in internal medicine and the frustrations he had when treating patients with diabetes and other chronic diseases. They quickly realized that the solution to Dustyn’s frustrations would likely be found by addressing medical, mental health and environmental factors in ways that would encourage patient behavioral change rather than prescribing a self-management and medical intervention that patients wouldn’t or couldn’t follow. What did Dustyn say to John? Years before Dustyn and John met, Dustyn had successfully treated a number of people in rural Louisiana for Diabetes, keeping >85% in control of their disease for almost 2 years (most adults with T2 Diabetes are

Good day to all
I wanted to update you on my newest role as a Senior Operations Advisor to Precina Health. Precina is a Telemedicine company founded with the express mission to eliminate type 2 diabetes afflicting millions in the US and abroad.
In our Pilot study 49 out of 50 patients successfully maintained acceptable levels of blood glucose within 12 weeks of starting treatment and more than 80% kept it there for 2 years. Medication and behavior change are both needed to be successful.
This gave us the data to launch ultimately nationwide.
The healthcare delivery space is complex, with many regulatory hurdles.
We are now licensed in Texas California and Oregon.
What this is not is a fast fix with compounded or substitute medication. You or your loved ones will have a doctor, Nurse practitioner and a support network side by side from day one.
If you have or know anyone with Type 2 diabetes with or without other issues or need or know someone who is struggling with a significant need for weight loss please do not delay and have them simply fill out a contact form at www.precina.com or reach directly to me through LinkedIn or [email protected].
Help us help you or someone you know get healthier starting today.
Precina Health – Precina Health When I was first diagnosed with diabetes... I was overwhelmed by all the new numbers and measurements I had to keep track of.

The End of Type 2 Diabetes!
As many of you know, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people improve their lives, personally and professionally. Many of my clients have been in healthcare, and I’ve now started a medical practice, Precina Health, with Dustyn Williams to end Type 2 Diabetes (and then other chronic diseases). In our pilot, we helped 49 of 50 patients control their diabetes in 12 weeks. We are seeing similar results with our patients today.
This journey took me back to USC, where I completed my doctorate. There, I focused on finding better ways to manage this pervasive disease. My motivation was personal—after witnessing my mother-in-law experience a preventable hospitalization due to diabetes complications, I knew there had to be a better way.
Our approach lets our team of providers spend much more time with patients. We talk to them as often as they need (sometimes daily). Now, we’re integrating cutting-edge AI technology to personalize care and predict potential complications before they arise. Even patients frustrated by their condition and the healthcare system for years are achieving better healthcare outcomes, often in weeks. I’ve been following our protocols and lost 60 lbs. in the process.
We are realizing our mission to revolutionize diabetes care, especially in underserved communities, and I’m thrilled about the possibilities that lie ahead.
I'd love to connect if you, a loved one, or a friend are impacted by diabetes. Also, reach out if you want to learn more about what we’re doing or explore collaboration opportunities. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those living with diabetes.

Testimonial Fridays:
In May 2023, a Precina patient began treatment for MRSA bacteremia and osteomyelitis. Initially, the patient was prescribed multiple medications in June, reaching maximum doses of the medications.
The patient’s A1C level was 10% in May, significantly improving to 5.9% by September 2023. Despite facing financial stressors that initially deterred him from exercising, the patient was highly motivated to make dietary changes, reducing his intake of sweets and red meats. After considering but ultimately deciding against gastric bypass surgery recommended by a bariatric surgeon, the patient began to increase physical activity.
Now, the patient works out at the gym 3-5 days weekly for 1-2 hours each session. Since October 2023, he has lost 31 pounds. The patient’s journey has inspired other family members to adopt healthier diets and increase physical activity.

Wonderful testimonial from a patient with Precina Health:
We started working with a 72-year-old enthusiast for life who faced a challenging diagnosis of type 2 diabetes with a high A1c of 14 in August 2023. Despite this setback, he joined our program at Precina with a resolve to turn things around. With our support, he embarked on a transformative journey involving significant dietary changes and a personalized health plan. By adopting a structured approach to his diet and lifestyle, he not only reduced his nightly insulin from 30U to 2U but also achieved a commendable A1c of 5.7 by January 2024. His story is not just about managing diabetes; it’s about reclaiming a healthier, more vibrant life through proactive health management and dedicated support from our community
Take a look at this testimonial from a patient with Precina Health:
A 35-year-old woman, referred via Facebook, started treatment with us on 05/18/2023. Initially, on basal and prandial insulin with blood sugars in the 200s-300s mg/dL and an A1c of 10.5%, we aimed to integrate Metformin, Jardiance, and Ozempic to reduce her insulin use. By 2023, we optimized these medications, lowering her A1c to 7.3% by 02/12/2024. We discontinued her Insulin Lispro and, due to improved readings, stopped basal insulin recently. Her blood sugars now range from 90s to 120s mg/dL, and she has lost 60 pounds.
Wonderful testimonial from a patient with Precina:
A 72-year-old patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in August 2023, after multiple ER visits, showed a high A1c of 14 at diagnosis. Initially, on basal bolus insulin and metformin, he was taking 30U of Lantus nightly when he joined Precina. Committed to his health, he adopted significant lifestyle and dietary changes, enabling us to reduce his Lantus from 30U to 2U nightly. His proactive approach paid off, with his A1c dropping to 5.7 by January 2024, leading us to consider discontinuing insulin. His progress, from a 14 A1c to 5.7 in five months and moving towards insulin independence, is remarkable.
PATIENT SUCCESS STORY: Dedicated to Change and Seeing Remarkable Results
A newly diagnosed nurse approached us with a concerning A1c level of 14, discovered after a near syncope event. The fear of inevitable insulin therapy clouded her outlook, but she bravely chose a different path with Precina Health. With a determined commitment to a holistic lifestyle and dietary changes and the initiation of metformin and an SGLT2 inhibitor, her health journey improved.
In just over three months, her A1c remarkably dropped to 6.8%, a reduction of over 7 points. This significant change, more than what is possible for a non-diabetic individual, underscores the effectiveness and impact of the personalized care she received with us. Her experience stands as a powerful testament to the transformative care offered at Precina Health, guiding individuals towards a healthier path, even in the most daunting situations.

Since joining Precina, the patient has become more "willing to make changes." Their lifestyle improvements include healthier food selections and a regular exercise routine.
