Endocrinologist James Lane, M.D., a former UNMC faculty member and the inaugural director of The Nebraska Medical Center Diabetes Center, died of glioblastoma Sept. 4 in Oklahoma City. He was 58.<\/p>\n

Dr. Lane joined UNMC in 1998 and, during his time here, established the young adult diabetes clinic, served as director of the endocrinology fellowship and local principal investigator for several national trials for prevention of type 1 diabetes, and initiated many studies that explored the causes of diabetic complications. He was president of the Heartland Chapter of the American Diabetes Association Nebraska affiliate and was named director of The Nebraska Medical Center Diabetes Center in 2007.<\/p>\n

“Jim was passionate about diabetes care,” said Jennifer Larsen, M.D., vice chancellor for research at UNMC. “During his time on faculty he served as the diabetes center director and the diabetes and endocrinology fellowship director. He was instrumental in developing many of our diabetes education programs and is still remembered fondly by his patients.”<\/p>\n

“Dr. Lane was a true partner with the entire diabetes center team as we moved the UNMC\/Nebraska Medical Center Diabetes Center inpatient accreditation to fruition,” said Beth Pfeffer, a registered nurse and former manager of the Diabetes Center.<\/p>\n

In 2011, Dr. Lane became the director of adult clinical programs at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center’s Harold Hamm Diabetes Center. He was affiliated with multiple hospitals in the Oklahoma City area.<\/p>\n

Said Lynn Mack, M.D., associate professor of internal medicine in UNMC’s Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism Division: “He was an excellent role model with a passion for practicing the best medicine, while still committing and spending time with his family and having active hobbies like supporting his beloved St. Louis Cardinals.”<\/p>\n

Vijay Shivaswamy, M.D., associate professor in the diabetes, endocrinology and metabolism division and former fellow, said: “Dr. Lane taught me to be an endocrinologist and almost turned me into a Cardinals fan.”<\/p>\n

Dr. Lane received his medical degree in 1984 from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine, did his internal medicine residency and endocrinology and metabolism fellowship at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago, and an endocrinology and metabolism fellowship at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

He is survived by his wife, Pascale, a former UNMC pediatric nephrologist; daughter and son-in-law, Jennifer and Alex Blevins; son, Tim; and parents, James and Patricia Lane.<\/p>\n

The UNMC Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism Division is establishing a new Dr. James Lane Lectureship.
