Diabetes Philosophy
We believe in empowering our patients to understand and take care of their disease.
We specialize in helping patients learn about, control, and cure their diabetes with on staff educators and nutritionists. Our team members will work with you to create individualized method of care based on your lifestyle and health profile. This involves a program of education and multidisciplinary care to aggressively manage your diabetes. We provide diabetic care for healthy patients as well as medical treatment for patients who are acutely or chronically ill. We manage the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of our patients, in every stage of development. We also offer gestational diabetic care and education pregnant women facing diabetes for the first time.
We work with your primary care physician and depending on your needs, you may see a physician and other members of our team—nurse practitioners, nurse educators, dietitians, ophthalmologists, mental health professionals and others—as you need them, for occasional or regular diabetes care and follow-up.
Patients with diabetes have too much sugar in their blood. Recent studies have found that controlling blood sugar helps prevent serious problems that can be caused by diabetes. These can include problems with the eyes, kidneys and nerves, which can lead to blindness, dialysis, or amputation. Endocrinologists treat diabetes with diet and medications, including insulin. They also work closely with patients to control blood sugar and monitor them so they can prevent health problems.
What type of medical training do endocrinologists receive?
Endocrinologists finish four years of medical school and then spend three or four years in an internship and residency program. These specialty programs cover internal medicine, pediatrics, or obstetrics and gynecology. They spend two or three more years learning how to diagnose and treat hormone conditions. Overall, an endocrinologist's training will take more than 10 years.
