FAQs
What does a diabetologist do?
A diabetologist is a doctor who specialises in diagnosing, managing, and treating diabetes and related complications. They focus on controlling blood sugar levels, preventing complications, and providing lifestyle and medication guidance tailored to diabetic patients.
What is the difference between a diabetologist and an endocrinologist?
A diabetologist specialises exclusively in the management of diabetes. An endocrinologist, on the other hand, treats a broader range of hormonal disorders, including diabetes, thyroid issues, and adrenal and pituitary gland disorders
Which doctor is best for diabetes?
An endocrinologist or a diabetologist is the best doctor for managing diabetes. In less severe cases, a general physician with experience in managing diabetes may also provide effective care.
