Diabetologist 's  Response
Dear sir

It is not needed to see an endocrinologist always for getting treated for type 2 diabetes.

Because primary care physicians and general physician can always treat diabetes better. So dont worry

if you really has got problems with endocrine systems, then they will refer to endocrinologist and get you treated for it.

Thanks
