Diabetes is a complex and often misunderstood condition. While it can be managed effectively, it’s also associated with a higher risk of complications that may impact lifespan—if not addressed properly. At Patients Medical in NYC, we combine holistic, conventional, and functional medicine to help you reduce risks, enhance longevity, and feel your best. We don’t just control your blood sugar—we transform your overall health.
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects how your body processes glucose. Either your body doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it effectively, leading to high blood sugar levels. Over time, this damages tissues, organs, and blood vessels.
Diabetes can reduce life expectancy by 5 to 10 years if left unmanaged. However, early diagnosis, lifestyle changes, and proper care can close that gap significantly—or eliminate it.
The good news? With the right plan, many people live long, full lives—even with a diabetes diagnosis.
You may have diabetes for years without knowing. Symptoms to watch out for include:
If you notice any of these, schedule an evaluation—early care improves outcomes.
In functional medicine, we explore why your body isn’t regulating blood sugar properly. Often, the cause is deeper than insulin resistance.
Poor sleep, shift work, or circadian rhythm issues

We create food plans based on your biology—not fads. These may include:
