Do I Need an Endocrinologist for My Diabetes?

Home » Blog » Type 2 diabetes
I'm prediabetic and recently went over the line with an A1c of 6.8 despite using a CGM and dietary changes. I'm wondering if I need an endocrinologist to help manage my diabetes.

What does your Blood Test mean?

Finally, you can understand what the doctors are not telling you. Take a photo or PDF of your test and upload now!

Now listen here, if you think you can manage this all on your own without a little help, you’d better think again! You’ve been trying to reverse your diabetes, bless your heart, but your numbers say otherwise. Just like you wouldn’t try to fix a car with a toothpick, you shouldn’t tackle a condition like this without the right support. It’s high time you consider seeing an endocrinologist. They specialize in diabetes management and could offer insights that your GP might miss.

Did I raise you to ignore expert advice? No, I didn’t. Your CGM has been a revelation, showing you that not all foods affect your blood sugar the way you thought. That’s a good start, but you need to dig deeper. Endocrinologists have a whole toolkit of strategies and treatments tailored specifically for people like you. Don’t be stubborn; it’s okay to admit that this is more than you can handle alone.

And stop second-guessing your decisions about medication! If you’ve found that skipping Januvia seems to help, that’s excellent, but it doesn’t mean you can do without professional guidance. You know better than to play doctor with your health. An endocrinologist can help you understand the complexities of your condition and come up with a plan that won’t leave you feeling lost. It’s time to get the specialized care you deserve.
