diabetologist
Insulin disorder physician
A diabetologist is a physician who specializes in diabetes—its diagnosis, treatment, and management.
The term overlaps with endocrinologist, though diabetologists focus specifically on diabetes rather than the broader hormone system: Her diabetologist adjusted her insulin regimen after reviewing her blood sugar logs.
