Yes, we are: Hi. Yes, those of us with formal training in diabetes are endocrinologists. Some doctors with a particular interest in diabetes refer to themselves as diabetologists. We endocrinologists are specialists in all endocrine diseases. All you need is a really good doctor with a passion for treating diabetes. Good luck, and stay tightly controlled to prevent longterm complications.
