Over 37 million Americans are living with diabetes, and many don’t even know it. At Patients Medical in New York City, we look beyond blood sugar readings. Our integrative approach blends conventional diagnostics with functional and holistic testing to reveal why your glucose is out of balance—and how to restore it naturally. It’s not just about managing diabetes; it’s about reversing the root cause whenever possible.
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or fails to respond properly to insulin. As a result, blood glucose levels rise, potentially damaging organs, blood vessels, nerves, and other vital systems over time.
Many individuals live with diabetes for years without realizing it. Here are some common warning signs to watch for:
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s essential to seek immediate testing and evaluation.
At Patients Medical, we believe diabetes is a symptom of deeper dysfunction. Common root causes include:
We use both standard and advanced diagnostics to create a full metabolic picture.
Our custom IV treatments include B vitamins, magnesium, alpha-lipoic acid, and glutathione to support glucose metabolism and detoxification.
We integrate relaxation practices such as meditation, acupuncture, and adaptogenic herbs to balance stress hormones and promote adrenal health.
Our bioidentical hormone treatments and thyroid optimization support better blood sugar regulation and overall wellness.
Medically supervised weight loss programs to improve insulin sensitivity and support healthy metabolism.
Maria, age 52, came to us with an A1C of 7.2, battling extreme fatigue. She was on metformin but still felt unwell. Through testing, we identified elevated cortisol, leaky gut, and borderline hypothyroidism.
With a customized 3-month integrative plan, including:
After 3 months, Maria’s A1C dropped to 5.8, her energy levels returned, and she was off all medications—under the support of her endocrinologist.
Yes. Many people are asymptomatic in early stages. Testing is key.
A1C reflects long-term trends; fasting glucose gives a daily snapshot. We use both.
It detects insulin resistance before blood sugar goes out of range.
Yes—especially if you want to reverse the condition or understand underlying causes.
Yes. CGM offers continuous insights into your blood sugar response to food, sleep, and stress.
Many patients successfully manage their diabetes naturally with lifestyle changes, but it’s important to work with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action for you.
We use advanced diagnostic tests such as Hemoglobin A1C, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), hormone panels, and gut health tests to understand the root causes of your condition.
While we are an out-of-network provider, we provide superbills to help with reimbursement, and certain lab tests may be partially covered by insurance.
Functional medicine focuses on identifying and treating the root causes, such as poor diet, chronic stress, hormone imbalances, and gut dysfunction, rather than just managing symptoms.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
