A diabetologist specializes in managing type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, prediabetes, and complications such as diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, and diabetic foot problems. They also help with insulin pump management and continuous glucose monitoring.
You should see a diabetologist if your blood sugar remains uncontrolled despite treatment, you need insulin therapy, you experience frequent hypoglycemic episodes, you develop diabetes-related complications, or you are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes requiring specialized management.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body destroys insulin-producing cells, requiring lifelong insulin. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough, and can often be managed with lifestyle changes and oral medications initially.
Type 2 diabetes can sometimes be put into remission through significant weight loss, dietary changes, and regular exercise, especially when caught early. Type 1 diabetes cannot be reversed as it involves permanent loss of insulin-producing beta cells.
Common warning signs include increased thirst and frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, blurred vision, slow-healing wounds, frequent infections, and tingling or numbness in the hands or feet.
