Providers who help you manage diabetes: see credentials, insurance, and contact details before you ever call.
225 providers in Fayetteville
The Fayetteville healthcare market is shaped by three anchors: Cape Fear Valley Health, the regional referral system operating Cape Fear Valley Medical Center; Fort Bragg, the largest Army installation in the country, whose Womack Army Medical Center makes TRICARE acceptance a defining feature of the local network; and the Methodist University area east of the medical center, which holds the densest concentration of independent practices.
TRICARE participation matters for a large share of patients here because of the Fort Bragg community. Each provider's profile shows their contact information so you can confirm coverage before booking.
Understanding diabetes
Diabetes is a group of conditions where blood glucose (blood sugar) stays higher than normal because the body either does not make enough insulin or cannot use it well. The main types are type 1 (the body makes little or no insulin), type 2 (the most common form, where the body resists insulin over time), and gestational diabetes (which develops during pregnancy).
Well-managed diabetes care usually involves a primary-care provider or endocrinologist, and often a team (diabetes educators, dietitians, eye and foot specialists, and others) because diabetes affects many parts of the body over time.
Finding the right provider
Many people manage type 2 diabetes with their primary-care provider; an endocrinologist is common for type 1, hard-to-control blood sugar, or complications. The practical things that matter when you choose: the provider is in-network with your insurance and is accepting new patients. ProviderQuoHealth surfaces both on every profile so you can rule out mismatches before you call.
Very high and very low blood sugar can both turn into emergencies, and they look nothing alike. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for confusion, trouble breathing, fruity-smelling breath, a seizure, or loss of consciousness. Severe low blood sugar is the kind a person cannot treat themselves: if someone with diabetes is unresponsive or having a seizure, give glucagon if it is on hand and call 911 right away, and call 911 anyway if there is no glucagon. Don't search a directory.

Common questions
What's the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
In type 1 diabetes the immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin, so insulin treatment is required. In type 2 diabetes (the most common form) the body's cells stop using insulin properly and the pancreas may not make enough to keep up; it's managed with lifestyle changes and may include oral medicines or insulin. A clinician diagnoses the type with blood tests.
Do I need an endocrinologist, or can my primary-care provider manage diabetes?
Many people manage type 2 diabetes well with their primary-care provider. A clinician may refer you to an endocrinologist for type 1 diabetes, blood sugar that's hard to control, or complications. Both kinds of providers appear in this directory.
How often should diabetes be checked?
It varies by person and type. The guidance from NIDDK is that people with diabetes have an A1C test, which reflects longer-term blood sugar, at least twice a year, and more often if treatment goals aren't being met. Diabetes care also tracks blood pressure, cholesterol, and kidney health over time, with a dilated eye exam at least once a year, a foot check at each visit, and a dental visit at least once a year. Your provider sets the schedule that fits you.
What happens if I'm diagnosed with gestational diabetes?
Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy, and most of the time it goes away after the baby is born. Having had it raises the chance of developing type 2 diabetes later in life, so a clinician will keep checking your blood sugar after delivery. Ask the clinician managing your pregnancy how they want it monitored; obstetric providers and primary-care providers both appear in this directory.
