Diabetes is a widespread metabolic disorder that affects millions globally, yet traditional methods often fail to address the root causes of the condition. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond managing blood sugar levels. We focus on understanding and treating the root causes through an integrative approach that blends conventional, functional, and holistic medicine. Our goal is not just symptom management but addressing the full scope of your health to reverse or manage diabetes effectively.
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition in which the body struggles with regulating blood glucose levels. It can result from the body’s inability to produce enough insulin or resistance to the insulin that is produced. Over time, this leads to elevated blood sugar levels, which can cause damage to vital organs, blood vessels, and nerves.
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, age 52, came to us with an A1C of 7.2, battling extreme fatigue. She was on metformin but still felt unwell. Through testing, we identified elevated cortisol, leaky gut, and borderline hypothyroidism.
With a customized 3-month integrative plan, including:

Yes, in many cases. Through diet adjustments, stress reduction, gut healing, and hormone balancing, patients can often normalize their blood sugar and reduce dependence on medications.
Some patients can reduce or eliminate medications under supervision. Others may continue conventional care alongside integrative treatments, working with their doctor for the best outcomes.
The time frame varies depending on individual health conditions, but many patients begin seeing improvements within 3-6 months with the right treatment plan.
Yes, our approach can help both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes patients by focusing on diet, stress management, and other lifestyle changes to improve insulin sensitivity and overall health.
Type 1 is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells. Type 2 is primarily due to insulin resistance, often linked to lifestyle factors, such as diet and exercise.
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.
Yes! We design personalized anti-inflammatory, low-glycemic meal plans tailored to your metabolic needs, with an emphasis on nutrient-dense foods and customized dietary protocols like intermittent fasting.
