Diabetologist

Over the years, Diabetes has become one of the most common diseases amongst people of all age groups, and the foremost reasons behind this are the inevitable prevalence of fast food culture and our lifestyle. Multiple other serious health issues that may affect diabetic patients are extreme obesity, heart diseases, and even stroke. This makes it very essential for us to consult a physician or a doctor and stay regularly under check-up. The early stage of diabetes is crucial and so the patients can approach either diabetologist or endocrinologist for their treatment. However, there are slight differences between Diabetologists and endocrinologists. Diabetologists refer to those physicians who treat only diabetic patients, whereas, endocrinologists specialize in endocrinology and treat all diseases that impact on the endocrine organs. Since diabetes is one of the problems of endocrinology, so endocrinologists can also offer treatment to diabetic patients. Diabetologist is a physician employed in hospitals for treating patients suffering from various diabetic issues. These physicians can work in either private or government hospitals as per their interests as well as work experiences. Several healthcare centres also hire the service of diabetologists. Those having adequate work experience as diabetologists can work independently as consultants.
