If you're at risk of diabetes or have symptoms, we can help.
At UPMC in Central Pa., we know the right diabetes care is crucial to staying healthy. Our endocrinologists use the latest technology to manage diabetes including continuous monitoring techniques and pump therapy for complex cases.
From diagnosis to management, you can trust us to provide the top-notch diabetes care and ongoing support you need.
There are several types of diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes:
Type 2 diabetes:
Some people can control their type 2 diabetes with diet, exercise, and weight loss. Many cases also require insulin or medicine.
At UPMC in Central Pa., we treat both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. While they both involve the buildup of blood glucose, there are differences in cause and treatment.
Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy that causes high blood sugar. It affects about 2 percent of women in the U.S.

Symptoms that can suggest type 1 or type 2 diabetes include:
Doctors often diagnose the type of diabetes through a fasting plasma glucose blood test or a glycosylated hemoglobin (Hba1c).
If you have any of these symptoms, it's vital to contact your PCP. Early detection and proper care can prevent or slow diabetes complications.
UPMC in Central Pa. offers both inpatient and outpatient diabetes care.
We were the first in the state named as a Center of Excellence for inpatient diabetes care from The Joint Commission. This Gold Seal of Approval® makes us a premiere leader in diabetes treatment.
Our nurse practitioners (NPs) run a growing program by independently managing diabetes in our hospitals. This helps our patients stay in good glycemic control.
Our experts provide education and support in our primary care offices. This helps your PCP manage your diabetes care rather than referring you to an endocrinologist.
