You need a team of professionals to guide you through all of
diabetes' medical details. Ideally your team will include your primary-care
physician, a hormone specialist who understands the intricacies of insulin, a
registered dietitian to help you fine-tune your eating plan, an eye specialist
who can look for diabetes-related signs of damage to the retina, a foot-care
specialist who can help prevent complications from diabetes-related nerve
damage and skin sores, and a dentist to keep periodontal disease and other
infections under control.
