Functional, Personalized Supplementation in NYC
At Patients Medical, we understand that managing diabetes requires more than medication alone. Our integrative supplement therapy supports your body’s natural healing systems by targeting nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, insulin resistance, and cellular imbalances. Every protocol is guided by advanced testing and customized for your unique biochemistry.

Most insurance plans do not cover supplements directly. However, some flexible spending accounts (FSA/HSA) may reimburse for prescribed supplements. We also provide superbills for possible reimbursement of consultation and lab testing.

Many of the supplements we prescribe are available in vegan, gluten-free, or allergen-free formulations. We select products based on your dietary preferences and sensitivities.
We recommend purchasing through our clinic or approved dispensaries to ensure quality and authenticity. Over-the-counter options may not meet the same standards for purity, dosage, or formulation.
