A Whole Health Approach to Diabetic Services
Our Endocrinology Clinic is composed of Endocrinologists and Dieticians.
Diabetes Evaluation, Diagnosis and Treatment
Diabetes is a disease that affects your body's glucose levels. This is especially important because glucose, or blood sugar, is what the body uses to fuel the brain and feed the cells that build muscle. If blood sugar is not balanced, it could cause serious health issues. Diabetes is classified by type and is diagnosed by endocrinologists.
Endocrinology: Evaluate, Diagnose and Treat
Endocrinology is a medical specialty that focuses on treating conditions involving the endocrine system. The endocrine system is comprised of the body's endocrine glands, which control the body's hormones. Endocrinologists then treat the conditions that are related to hormonal imbalances in our bodies.
Our Endocrinology Clinic is composed of Board-Certified Endocrinologists and Registered Dietitians that provide expert medical care and education to help you manage your diabetes and diabetic complications. The endocrinologists at Larkin Community Hospital believe in a whole health approach to diabetic treatment.
