Possibly: Type 1 dms with hashimoto's may need to see an endocrinologist. 90% of type 2 dms are cared for by pcps in the us.

Both: You should partner with both. Your endocrinologist has expertise in endocrine diseases and your family physician has unique information about you. Together you'll be able to pool your knowledge to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
