Expert Diabetes Care
When it comes to diabetes care, a strong partnership between doctor and patient is key.
As a primary care physician and internal medicine specialist, Dr. Nobles has extensive experience in diagnosing and managing Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, and prediabetes.
Our diabetes care center focuses on early intervention, personalized treatments, and patient education to help you take control of your condition.
What We Offer:
At Dr. Nobles' diabetes care center, we provide a comprehensive range of services to ensure every patient receives the care they need.
1. Early Diagnosis & Monitoring
The earlier diabetes is diagnosed, the better the chances of preventing complications. We use diagnostic tools, including:
- HbA1c Testing: A measure of average blood sugar levels over three months.
- Fasting Glucose Tests: Determines baseline blood sugar levels.
- Glucose Tolerance Testing: Evaluates how your body processes glucose after a sugary drink.
Routine monitoring is a cornerstone of our reliable diabetes care, helping patients track their progress and adjust their management plan as needed.
2. Medication Management & Lifestyle Counseling
Diabetes management often involves a combination of medications & lifestyle changes.
Dr. Nobles works closely with you to:
- Prescribe and manage medications such as insulin and oral antidiabetics (e.g., metformin).
- Offer personalized lifestyle counseling to incorporate healthy eating, exercise, and weight management into your routine.
- Educate you on how to use tools like blood glucose monitors effectively.
3. Screening & Preventive Care for Complications
Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to serious health problems, but proactive care can significantly reduce risks. We conduct regular screenings to detect and prevent complications such as:
- Diabetic Neuropathy: Nerve damage that can cause pain, tingling, or numbness.
- Diabetic Retinopathy: Eye damage that can lead to vision loss if untreated.
- Cardiovascular Disease: Heart health is a top priority for patients with diabetes.
4. Collaboration with Endocrinologists
While Dr. Nobles handles most aspects of diabetes management, we recognize that some cases require specialized care. We collaborate with endocrinologists in and around San Antonio for complex or advanced conditions to provide seamless, coordinated diabetes care plans. This team-based approach ensures you receive the best possible care, no matter your needs.

FAQ
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). It occurs when the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin or when the body cannot use insulin effectively. There are three main types: Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Common symptoms of diabetes include:
- Increased thirst and frequent urination
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue
- Blurred vision
- Slow-healing wounds or frequent infections
If you experience these symptoms, it's important to consult a doctor for diagnosis and management.
Untreated diabetes can lead to serious health complications, including:
- Heart disease and stroke
- Kidney damage (nephropathy)
- Nerve damage (neuropathy)
- Vision loss (retinopathy)
- Foot problems that may require amputation
Early intervention and consistent management are essential to avoid these complications.
Diet plays a crucial role in controlling blood sugar levels. Eating a balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, and vegetables helps stabilize glucose and prevent spikes. Proper nutrition also reduces the risk of complications and supports overall health.
