Diabetes isn’t just about high blood sugar—it’s a complex, whole-body condition. At Patients Medical in New York City, we address the root causes using a blend of conventional, holistic, and functional medicine. Our mission is to help you manage—or even reverse—diabetes naturally, where possible, by treating your whole system, not just your symptoms.
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or fails to respond properly to insulin. As a result, blood glucose levels rise, potentially damaging organs, blood vessels, nerves, and other vital systems over time.
Many individuals live with diabetes for years without realizing it. Here are some common warning signs to watch for:
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s essential to seek immediate testing and evaluation.
Functional medicine aims to uncover the root causes of chronic conditions. When it comes to diabetes, the underlying factors can be diverse:
To understand the drivers behind your diabetes, we utilize advanced lab tests, including:
Our custom IV treatments include B vitamins, magnesium, alpha-lipoic acid, and glutathione to support glucose metabolism and detoxification.
We integrate relaxation practices such as meditation, acupuncture, and adaptogenic herbs to balance stress hormones and promote adrenal health.
Our bioidentical hormone treatments and thyroid optimization support better blood sugar regulation and overall wellness.
Medically supervised weight loss programs to improve insulin sensitivity and support healthy metabolism.
Maria, 52, came in with fatigue and an A1C of 7.2. She had been on metformin for a year without improvement. Our evaluation found leaky gut, elevated cortisol, and sluggish thyroid function.
Her 90-day custom plan included:
In just three months, Maria’s A1C dropped to 5.8, her energy returned, and she discontinued medication with her endocrinologist’s approval.
Many patients successfully manage their diabetes naturally with lifestyle changes, but it’s important to work with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action for you.
We use advanced diagnostic tests such as Hemoglobin A1C, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), hormone panels, and gut health tests to understand the root causes of your condition.
While we are an out-of-network provider, we provide superbills to help with reimbursement, and certain lab tests may be partially covered by insurance.
Functional medicine focuses on identifying and treating the root causes, such as poor diet, chronic stress, hormone imbalances, and gut dysfunction, rather than just managing symptoms.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
