Black patients and Endocrinology
Black endocrinologists: diabetes, thyroid, PCOS, and obesity care. Black adults have 60 percent higher diabetes rates, and specialist care matters.
Type 2 diabetes is 60 percent more common in Black adults than white adults (CDC, 2023), and Black Americans are three times more likely to develop end-stage kidney disease from diabetes. Endocrinologists specialize in the hormone systems behind diabetes, thyroid disease, PCOS, adrenal disorders, and obesity medicine. A Diabetes Care 2021 cohort showed that Black patients referred to endocrinology within one year of diabetes diagnosis had A1C levels 0.8 percent lower at five years, a meaningful effect.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in Black Americans, who develop primary open-angle glaucoma far more often than White Americans, earlier, and with faster progression.
