Karen M. Glasenapp, DNP, APNP, BC-ADM, CDCES, CSOWM

I was privileged to join my endocrine colleagues at the Medical College of Wisconsin in January 2015. I am a native of Milwaukee and chose to spend my professional career here. I have years of inpatient nursing experience and my career as a nurse practitioner has focused on chronic disease management with special interest areas of metabolic health, diabetes, and obesity care. Prior to joining MCW I worked in Internal Medicine with Froedtert West Bend.

I earned my Bachelor and Master of Science in Nursing at UW Madison. I completed my Adult Nurse Practitioner post Master’s certification at Marquette University. My Doctor of Nursing Practice is from St, Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota.

I am a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. I hold board certifications in Advanced Diabetes Management, Obesity and Weight Management, and Bariatric Nursing. I am a current member of Metro Milwaukee Nurse Practitioners and the Obesity Medicine Association.

My patients are central to the care team. I am dedicated to working with a team of providers including Advanced Practice Providers, Diabetes Educators, dietitians, pharmacists, physicians/specialists, and nurses. Together we support individual patients and families in meeting the challenges of self-care in chronic disease management to achieve optimal health and quality of life.
