About Insulinic

What is Insulinic?

Insulinic is a clinic at 220 Johnston Street in Lafayette, Louisiana. It is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It describes itself as a specialized diabetes and medical weight loss clinic serving Lafayette and the surrounding Acadiana community, and Google lists it as a diabetes center. Its own description puts diabetes first, with medical weight loss alongside it.

The clinicians named are Dr. Patrick Dale Leleux, MD, listed under internal medicine with diabetes management, blood pressure and ongoing care, and Christy Lee, whose listed focus is diabetes care, prevention and personalized support. The clinic lists eight services: diabetes care, neuropathy, medical weight loss, cardiovascular care, insulin resistance reversal, remote patient monitoring, chronic care management and diagnostic testing. It describes many of its patients as older adults managing several chronic conditions at once. It has a 5 rating on Google from 30 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or whether any medication is included in a weight loss program. It does not name a monthly fee or membership terms. It lists insurance as accepted but does not name the plans it takes. It asks patients to call (337) 254-9999 to check referral requirements, coverage and expected costs before a first visit. In its own words: "Our team can help verify your plan and benefits."

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which of the two clinicians signs the prescription for medical weight loss, since the clinic does not say who prescribes for that program. Ask whether the program fee includes any medication, and if a medication is prescribed, whether it is a brand name drug or a compounded one. The clinic does not name any weight loss medication, so get the names before you agree to anything. Ask what the first consultation costs, what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether remote patient monitoring carries a separate fee. Ask whether visits can be done by video, since the clinic does not say. Ask which insurance plans it accepts and whether your plan needs a referral. Ask how a program is cancelled and whether any fee applies when you stop. Get the answers in writing before you pay for anything.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in Lafayette or one of the Acadiana towns it names, such as Broussard, New Iberia, Opelousas or Abbeville, and you want diabetes care first with medical weight loss alongside it. If your main goal is weight loss, call the clinic and work through the questions above before you book.
