NYC’s Leading Integrative Health Care Center
Diabetes has become a silent epidemic, affecting over 37 million people across the United States. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond managing blood sugar levels. Our integrative approach combines conventional, holistic, and functional medicine to uncover the root causes of diabetes and help you reverse or manage it naturally.
We treat the whole person—focusing on lifestyle, diet, stress, and hormonal balance—not just the pancreas.
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Without insulin, blood glucose levels rise and require lifelong management—typically with insulin therapy.
Unlike Type 2 Diabetes, Type 1 is not caused by lifestyle, but rather by complex interactions between genetics, immune dysfunction, and environmental triggers.
Type 1 Diabetes symptoms often come on suddenly and may include:
Type 1 is most often diagnosed in children, teens, or young adults—but it can occur at any age.
While the exact cause is unknown, functional medicine helps explore why the immune system turns against itself. Factors we examine include:
Functional testing helps us understand these root contributors and support immune balance—even in an autoimmune condition.
In addition to confirming a Type 1 diagnosis, we use advanced labs to support optimal health and prevent complications.
We design personalized meal plans to stabilize blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and support immune health.
