Diabetes doesn’t start overnight—it develops silently, often with early warning signs that are easy to overlook. At Patients Medical in New York City, we believe catching the first signs of diabetes is a powerful opportunity to reverse the disease before it progresses. Through integrative and functional medicine, we identify these subtle shifts and help patients take charge of their health naturally.
We don’t just chase symptoms. We get to the root.
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.
Common early symptoms include:
In functional medicine, we explore what’s driving your blood sugar issues. Often, it’s not just “bad luck” or genetics—it’s the cumulative effect of lifestyle, toxins, inflammation, and imbalances.
Common underlying contributors include:
At Patients Medical, we go beyond a simple glucose test. We use comprehensive diagnostics to uncover your unique biochemical landscape:
Nathan, 42, came to us after a routine physical showed an HbA1c of 6.1—borderline prediabetes. Though asymptomatic, he had frequent sugar cravings, fatigue after meals, and belly weight gain.
After root-cause testing, we uncovered:
His personalized 90-day plan included:
Result: His HbA1c dropped to 5.4, energy soared, and his belly fat decreased—all without medication.
Yes. Especially in prediabetes or early Type 2, we often see full reversal through functional nutrition, stress support, and lifestyle changes.
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.
