Diabetes Care Centurion

MEET OUR TEAM

Suzanne Hugo

General Practitioner
Certified Diabetes Management

I am originally from a small town in the Eastern Free State, called Frankfort. After matriculating there, I completed my medical studies locally at the University of Pretoria in 2021.

I was blessed to discover my passion for metabolic health early on. That motivated me to obtain my diploma in diabetes via the University of South Wales while doing my community service year in Heidelberg, Gauteng.

Thanks to the love of my life, Marius, I moved back to Pretoria to get married and settle down. With this move came the opportunity to learn practically from some of the best diabetes practitioners in the country. I am extremely excited to be a part of the Diabetes Care Centurion team and to continue my professional career in the field of diabetes. Helping one patient at a time.
