are told you have complications.
want to see a specialist like an endocrinologist or a specialist to prevent or treat complications.

This condition is typically treated by experts specializing in endocrinology, geriatrics, internal medicine, or nutrition.

Because any successful treatment program for diabetes includes active participation by the patient, the University of Pittsburgh Diabetes Institute offers diabetes self-management programs at several UPMC facilities.
