Diabetes
What is a Diabets Doctor?
A Diabetes Doctor is called an Endocrinologist. Endocrinology is a medical specialty that focuses on the body’s glands and the hormones they produce (the endocrine system). Diabetes is a condition or disease that develops when the pancreas (a gland) is unable to properly produce the insulin (a hormone) needed to regulate blood sugar.
Complications related to diabetes can be severe and even life threatening. Such complications include cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, eye damage, skin infections, leg and foot vascular issues (potentially leading to amputation), dementia, depression, and more. If you have diabetes or are experiencing prediabetes symptoms, it is critical that you consult a qualified Diabetes Specialist or Endocrinologist near you as soon as possible.

Why choose an UberDoc Specialist for your Diabetes Needs?
A diabetes doctor (typically an endocrinologist) specializes in managing Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes. They help control blood sugar levels, adjust medications, and prevent complications such as neuropathy and kidney disease.
Consider seeing a diabetes doctor if your blood sugar is poorly controlled, you require insulin management, you are newly diagnosed, or you are experiencing diabetes-related complications that need specialist care.
Bring your blood sugar logs, a list of current medications, recent lab results (HbA1c, cholesterol, kidney function), and any questions you have. This helps your diabetes doctor build the most effective treatment plan.
