DO I NEED AN ENDOCRINOLOGIST IN ADDITION TO FAMILY PHYSICIAN?

Family physicians and internists can treat diabetes too. But once things get complicated or medications do not work as they planned most primary care specialists will turn to endocrine specialists to further manager and troubleshoot the patient.

Also, endocrinologists have access to and skills to use advanced tools such as continuous glucose monitoring systems and insulin pumps.
