Diabetes and chronic inflammation are intimately connected—yet traditional care often overlooks this vital link. At Patients Medical in New York City, we specialize in treating diabetes by targeting inflammation at its root. Our integrative approach combines conventional, functional, and holistic medicine to heal the body—not just manage blood sugar.
