We are not your doctor.

DiabetesCompass publishes educational content about diabetes and life with diabetes. We are not a healthcare provider. Nothing on this site is intended to be — and nothing on this site should be treated as — individualized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always talk to your healthcare team

Before making decisions about insulin dosing, medication, devices, diet, exercise, pregnancy, surgery, or any other medically significant matter, consult a credentialed healthcare professional who knows you and your full medical history.

If you are in crisis

If you are experiencing severe hypo- or hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), chest pain, signs of stroke, or any other medical emergency, call your local emergency number (911 in the United States) or get to an emergency room immediately. Do not consult a website.

Confirm credentials with the relevant state licensing board before scheduling an appointment.

No physician–patient relationship
