A diabetologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diabetes. They have extensive training and expertise in understanding the complexities of diabetes and can provide personalized care to help you effectively manage your condition and improve your quality of life.

You should consider seeing a diabetologist if you have been diagnosed with diabetes, have symptoms suggestive of diabetes (such as increased thirst, frequent urination, or unexplained weight loss), or have risk factors for diabetes, such as a family history of the condition, obesity, or a sedentary lifestyle.

During your initial visit, the diabetologist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, perform a physical examination, and may order blood tests to assess your blood sugar levels and other relevant parameters. They will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.

The frequency of follow-up visits will depend on various factors, including the type and severity of your diabetes, your overall health status, and the effectiveness of your treatment plan. In general, we recommend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, adjust your treatment as needed, and provide ongoing support and education.
