FLORIDA ENDOCRINOLOGY AND DIABETES CENTER

Diabetes Specialist

Diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar, either because it doesn’t produce enough insulin (Type 1) or doesn’t use insulin effectively (Type 2 or prediabetes). At Florida Endocrinology and Diabetes Center, our physicians manage diabetes for patients across all stages, from prediabetes and newly diagnosed Type 2 to complex, insulin-dependent Type 1 cases. Treatment starts with a full evaluation of blood sugar patterns, A1C, and related risk factors, followed by a personalized plan that may include medication management, continuous glucose monitor (CGM) setup and coordination with insurance, and ongoing lifestyle guidance. Our team also monitors for and helps prevent complications like nerve, kidney, and cardiovascular damage. Patients are seen at our St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Pinellas Park locations, with regular follow-up to adjust treatment as needs change.
