Diabetes care.
A plan built around you.

Primary care can support ongoing diabetes management. Some patients also need an endocrinologist or other specialists, depending on the complexity of their care.

Diabetes care is a priority at Soriano Med. We work with you to improve blood sugar management, support your long-term health, and, for some people with type 2 diabetes, work toward remission when possible.

Lifestyle management is the foundation of care, including nutrition, physical activity, and sustainable weight management when appropriate. We use current, evidence-based medication options guided by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Standards of Care, tailored to your health needs, goals, preferences, and access to treatment. Medications support lifestyle management and are started or adjusted when clinically appropriate.

Some people with type 2 diabetes can achieve remission: blood sugar remains below the diabetes range for at least three months without glucose-lowering medication. Remission is not a cure, is not possible for everyone, and cannot be guaranteed. Continued monitoring remains important. Medication changes should always be supervised by your clinician.

Yes. We use continuous glucose monitoring when clinically appropriate to help patients and clinicians understand glucose patterns and guide lifestyle and medication decisions. We discuss whether CGM fits your needs and preferences. Device selection, eligibility, and insurance coverage vary and should be confirmed before starting.

We emphasize regular screening because diabetes can affect your eyes, kidneys, and feet before you notice symptoms.

• Eyes: We generally recommend a yearly dilated eye examination. Type 2 diabetes screening starts at diagnosis; initial type 1 diabetes screening is generally within five years of diagnosis. Your eye clinician may recommend a different interval, including every 1-2 years after normal examinations and stable glucose control, or more often if eye disease is present.
• Kidneys: A urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) can detect early kidney damage. We review this urine test and kidney blood testing (creatinine/eGFR) at least yearly for type 2 diabetes and for type 1 diabetes lasting five years or longer. Kidney disease or other risks may require earlier or more frequent testing.
• Feet: Have a comprehensive foot examination at least yearly, with frequent checks based on your risk. Feet should be inspected at each visit if you have reduced sensation, a prior ulcer, or an amputation. Check your feet at home and report sores, redness, or new symptoms promptly.

We generally favor lower-glycemic-index food choices as part of an individualized, balanced eating plan. Examples include non-starchy vegetables, beans and lentils, and minimally processed whole grains, with appropriate protein and healthy fats. Portions, total carbohydrate intake, kidney health, medications, and your preferences also matter. A food’s glycemic index alone does not determine whether it fits your plan.
