What kind of doctor do you go to for diabetes?
One of the most qualified professionals to manage diabetes is an internist. This professional is an internal medicine doctor who has completed an internal medicine residency. As a primary care provider and a specialist in treating the chronic conditions that affect adults and seniors, an internist can provide the continual care diabetics need. This includes blood glucose monitoring, symptom management, and complication prevention. And because diabetes complications can affect a patient in many ways, such as by affecting the feet, an internist can provide referrals to specialists, like podiatrists. Additionally, an internist can provide a referral to a diabetes specialist if necessary.
