OverviewRocky Mountain Diabetes Center specializes in internal medicine and its sub-specialty, endocrinology for adults and children. We also provide primary care services for our adult patients who do not otherwise have a primary care provider.
The endocrine system is a complex system of hormone-secreting glands. Hormones are substances that help control activities in your body, such as metabolism, reproduction, growth and development. They also help to provide the proper amount of energy and nutrition your body needs to function.
Typical conditions that are evaluated or treated by Rocky Mountain Diabetes Center include diabetes, osteoporosis, insulin resistance, thyroid diseases, thyroid cancer, hypertension, cholesterol (lipid) disorders, pituitary and adrenal disorders, low testosterone, obesity, infertility, and growth problems.
Rocky Mountain Diabetes Center provides comprehensive diabetes self-management education in both group and individual settings. Our education program is certified by the American Diabetes Association. Our diabetes educators are registered dieticians (RD), most are certified diabetes care and education specialists (CDCES), and some are also certified insulin pump trainers.
Laboratory testing plays a vital role in the endocrine specialty. Rocky Mountain Diabetes Center includes a full-service medical laboratory, Express Lab, that is certified through CLIA, COLA, and the American Red Cross. We are affiliated with Express Lab.
We are also affiliated with Rocky Mountain Pharmacy a full-service pharmacy ready to help you with all of your pharmacy needs.
