What's the name for a doctor who specializes in diabetes?


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.
dr. diabetes
a diabetic doctor
Usually an Internal Medicine physician will be a good doc for a person who suffers from diabetes.
i have to agree with pegasus b/c i don't know.
endocrinolgist is usually one who handles diabetes. internists (internal medicine doctors) can as well. many people also see a dietician as well
diabetologist (DY-uh-beh-TAH-luh-jist) ---> a doctor who specializes in treating people with diabetes.
