Managing diabetes well takes more than a prescription. Our physicians — including one with published research in diabetes and cardiovascular medicine — work with you on the parts that actually move your A1c: medication that fits your routine, realistic food and activity changes, and monitoring that tells you something useful. We also watch for the complications that matter long-term, screening eyes, kidneys, feet, and heart risk on schedule rather than after symptoms appear. For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment online. We are conveniently located at 95 Washington St, Ste 204 B, Canton, MA 02021.

Not necessarily. Many people manage type 2 diabetes with oral medications, GLP-1 medications, and lifestyle changes. If insulin does become the right option, we’ll explain why and support you through starting it.

Most patients are seen every three months while A1c is above goal or medications are being adjusted, then every six months once stable. We schedule labs before the visit so results are ready to discuss.

Yes. We screen kidney function and urine protein at least annually, check feet at visits, monitor blood pressure and cholesterol, and coordinate your annual eye exam.
Many people do, especially early. Treatment is individualized — some patients need insulin from the start, others control it with oral medication and lifestyle for years.
