Who is an Endocrinologist?

Endocrinologists are physicians who specialize in hormones. And diabetes is a disorder of insulin, which is a hormone produced by the specialized cells in your pancreas. That is why an endocrinologist is your best diabetes specialist doctor.

An endocrinologist is a physician who completes a total of Five years of medical training after graduating from medical school. Out of these five years, he receives postgraduate medical training in Internal Medicine for three years and spends the other two years of training in Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Traditional Diabetes Specialist Versus Holistic Diabetes Specialist

A traditional diabetes specialist focuses on the the prescription medications. These antidiabetic drugs are useful to control blood sugars. However, most of these medications do not treat the root cause of Type 2 diabetes, which is insulin resistance. Often diabetics end up developing horrendous complications of diabetes such as chronic kidney disease, eye disease, peripheral neuropathy, heart disease and poor circulation. In comparison, a holistic diabetes specialist focuses on treating the whole body and tries to reverse the downhill course of diabetes.

Not Every Holistic Diabetes Specialist Doctor is a Medical Doctor

There is a wide variety of holistic diabetes specialists: Out of them, some are Medical Doctors ( MD), others are Naturopathic Doctors (ND), and some practice Ayurveda, homeopathy or traditional Chinese medicine.

By employing this holistic approach to diabetes, Dr. Zaidi has seen some amazing results in his diabetic patients. For example, more than 95% of his Type 2 diabetic patients did not need to go on insulin injections even after many years of diabetes. Even those Type 2 diabetics who were on insulin when they came to see him, were able to come of the insulin shots. In addition, more than 90% of his diabetic patients achieved an excellent glucose control with A1C less than 7.0%.
