Diabetes has become a silent epidemic in America, affecting over 37 million people. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond blood sugar numbers. Our integrative approach combines conventional, holistic, and functional medicine to understand the root causes of your diabetes—and reverse or manage it naturally, when possible.
What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder where the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or doesn’t respond to insulin properly. The result? Elevated blood glucose levels, which over time can damage organs, blood vessels, nerves, and more.
There are several types:
Many people have diabetes for years without realizing it. Here are some red flags:
Functional medicine aims to uncover the “why” behind chronic illness. In the case of diabetes, these are common root causes:
We personalize anti-inflammatory, low-glycemic nutrition plans based on your metabolism and labs. This may include:
Custom IVs containing B vitamins, magnesium, alpha-lipoic acid, and glutathione enhance glucose metabolism and support the body’s natural detoxification pathways. These nutrients work synergistically to improve cellular energy, reduce oxidative stress, and optimize insulin sensitivity, offering a targeted approach to metabolic health and overall wellness through intravenous nutrient therapy.
We recommend evidence-based supplements such as:
All dosed and monitored by a physician.
We offer meditation, acupuncture, and adaptogenic herbs to help balance stress hormones and support adrenal health. These holistic therapies promote relaxation, enhance resilience to stress, and restore energy levels, creating a foundation for long-term wellness and improved vitality through natural, integrative care.
Using bioidentical hormones and targeted thyroid optimization, we address hormonal imbalances that can contribute to poor blood sugar control. When hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormones are out of balance, insulin sensitivity and metabolic function often decline. By restoring optimal hormone levels naturally, we support more stable glucose regulation, improved energy, and overall metabolic health, helping clients achieve better long-term outcomes in managing blood sugar and related symptoms.
We offer medically supervised weight loss programs designed to reverse insulin resistance and support a healthy metabolism. Through personalized nutrition plans, lifestyle guidance, and clinical monitoring, we help patients lose weight safely and effectively. Our approach targets the root causes of metabolic dysfunction, promoting sustainable results, improved energy, and better long-term blood sugar control.
Maria, age 52, came to us with an A1C of 7.2 and fatigue so extreme she couldn’t get through the day. She was taking metformin but still felt unwell. After testing, we discovered elevated cortisol, leaky gut, and borderline hypothyroidism.
We customized a 3-month integrative plan with:
Three months later, Maria’s A1C dropped to 5.8, her energy returned, and she was off all medications—with her endocrinologist’s support.
