At Wake Forest Baptist Health Diabetes and Endocrinology Center, a service of NC Baptist Hospital, our physicians and staff are committed to the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the endocrine system.
Our facility features a multidisciplinary staff of diabetes experts and offers the full range of diabetes services.
Our team is devoted to helping patients manage diabetes and prevent the complications that often occur as a result of the disease.
In order to achieve good management of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, a host of factors must come together - insulin and oral medication, nutrition, exercise, weight loss, behavioral counseling, glucose monitoring, insulin pumps, care of the eyes, kidneys, and cardiovascular system - all done within an educational context to give patients effective tools to self-manage their diabetes. Wake Forest Baptist integrates all diabetes specialties into a team model of care.
Our specialists provide you with the best treatment plans and enable you to be seen by an endocrinologist, an eye care provider, a podiatrist, and a diabetes educator.
Diabetes Education
At the Diabetes and Endocrinology Center, our expertly trained diabetes educators provide patient education in individual sessions or through various classes. Because diabetes is with you 24/7, knowing what to do to keep it in control is one of the pillars of care. Our diabetes educators give you the practical tools and knowledge you need to fit diabetes into your life.
