Diabetes Services

Did you know that diabetes affects more than 38 million people in the United States — and 1 in 5 of those affected don’t even know they have it?

Managing your diabetes effectively is critical in maintaining your overall health and wellness, whether you have type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes.

Endocrinologists are skilled in treating all forms of diabetes. MultiCare’s endocrinology specialists can provide the treatment and support you need to manage this chronic condition.

• Prediabetes: A potentially reversible condition that occurs when blood sugar levels are high, but not high enough to be considered diabetes.
• Type 1 diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the body doesn’t produce insulin, which causes high levels of blood sugar. The condition usually develops during childhood but can occur at any age.
• Type 2 diabetes: This type of diabetes is the most common and develops when your body becomes resistant to insulin or isn’t able to produce enough insulin, causing blood sugar levels to rise.
• Gestational diabetes: Diabetes that occurs during pregnancy.

At MultiCare, you can expect a caring team who will work with you on developing a personalized treatment plan based on the type of diabetes you have and your insulin needs. Whether you need additional help from our certified diabetes care and education specialists we want you to feel confident in managing your condition with diet, exercise and medication.

We will work closely with the referring provider to ensure seamless, coordinated care. If additional specialty care is needed, we offer easy access to specialists and resources.
