Is it just a general practitioner, or is there a specific name for it? A diabete-ist? If someone can help me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Endocrinologist - because the pancreas is a part of our endocrine system.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

You need a endocrinologist the pancreas is part of the endocrine system. You also need a diabetes educator and dietitian. A general practitioner can treat diabetes but they have no specialty in the disease and are not on top of the latest medical advances in diabetes. Would you go to a GP for your heart or the specialist?

Endocrinologists treat diabetes, but they also deal with thyroid and other hormone things. Any doctor (IM, Peds. FP) could "specialize" in diabetes. Some endocrinologists focus on thyroid more than diabetes. You can call around to doctors in your area and ask about their diabetes experience and number of diabetics they see to get a general idea.
Note: I plan to do combined IM-Peds as a general practice, but focus on diabetes

They are called Endocrinologists. Although many physicians who specialize in Internal Medicine are also quite good with treating diabetes.

Usually an Internal Medicine physician will be a good doc for a person who suffers from diabetes.
