Dr. Hayley Miller

Dr. Miller grew up in Buffalo Wyoming and received her undergraduate degree in Nutrition and Food Sciences from the University of Wyoming. After garnering her M.D. from University of Washington School of Medicine, she completed two years of Internal Medicine residency in La Crosse Wisconsin & accepted a fast-track fellowship position in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.

During her training, Dr. Miller participated in many aspects of research, but her true passion has always been patient care. She has given a number of talks to both patients & providers about healthcare innovation, optimizing diabetes management, insulin pump therapy, continuous glucose monitoring, insulin intensification and weight management.

A self-proclaimed "diabetes nerd," Dr. Miller’s professional interests stem from her own experience with type 1 diabetes, diagnosed at age 10.

In her free time, she enjoys skiing, hiking, performing arts, & most outdoor activities with her husband and two children.

In her interview, she discusses how her growing up as a child with diabetes in rural Wyoming influenced her way of practicing medicine. She discusses the space she was in as a specialist exploring the world of DPC and envisioning how it could work for her own practice. Dr. Miller shares about how she provides diabetic care to multiple states (see list below) and how she has used certain tools and her own DIY spirit to create and run her clinic!
