A member asked:

Diabetas type 2 patient here. who can i talk to about this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Endocrinologist: Hi. Endocrinologists are the specialists in diabetes, although many primary care docs are comfortable treating type 2 diabetes. If possible, ask some diabetic friends or acquaintances if they know a good diabetes doc they're happy with. Good luck!
