Can anyone recommend a physician or clinic that specializes in diabetes/high blood sugar issues?

If you are covered by Health Insurance why not go to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital or Pattaya International? I could imagine also Dr. Oliver should have good knowledge about your Problem.

at bangkok pattaya hospital, the diabetes specialist is dr mayura tepkasetkul
consultation is now 600baht
you will need a blood test prior to seeing her
no food or drink after 12 midnight, water is Ok
next morning, ask for the blood test package at 1350, if charged seperately the required tests are 1750
it will take about 1 hour to process, so i tend to go early, give blood, ghet some breakfast somewhere and come back later rather than hang around in the hospital

the doctor knows here stuff but when you are talking to her she says yes a lot, writing whilst talking and appears to not really be listening
i find that annoying but try to make your questions specific to you and not generalised to diabetes and you will get a case specific answer rather than just the ''yes''
don't buy diabetes meds there unless you have to.
go to fascino on pattaya Nua near tesco/town hall/thai house restaurant
pay 50 baht for a member card then get 5% off on all purchases
saving around 40% on Bangkok pattaya's pharmacy prices

if she prescribes Januvia, fascino do not stock it anymore
you will have to get it from BPH or another hospital
its 90 baht a tab, one a day

i hope that helps

if you need more info or support Pm me
