About the Practice
Our team at AM Diabetes & Endocrinology Center has created a medical home in Bartlett, Tennessee, where we welcome patients with diabetes, thyroid disorders, and full scope of endocrine problems. Internist and endocrine specialist Kashif Latif, MD, named the center in honor of his son, who has Type 1 diabetes and he was the inspiration for creating a holistic facility that provides quality, comprehensive endocrine solutions with personalized care. At AM Diabetes, we treat each patient as if they were our family member and desire to enhance the patient experience.
We are certified by the American Diabetes Association, an honor that is only awarded following a rigorous process of documenting patient care and positive results. We offer diabetes education classes as the cornerstone to help patients manage their diabetes with diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes.
Our staff includes physicians, doctor of nurse practitioner, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, certified diabetes educators, and certified pump trainers. We offer a range of diagnostic tests, medical services, and procedures that keep most patients from traveling to multiple specialists at different locations.
As part of our patients’ annual preventive physical exam and diabetes physicals, our team at AM Diabetes & Endocrinology Center offers routine lab testing, EKGs, diabetic foot care, neuropathy exams, circulation screening, and an advanced eye exam with retinal imaging.
AM Diabetes & Endocrinology Center offers an insulin pump center, the first of its kind in the nation devoted to taking care of patients on insulin pump therapy.
One of the most beneficial services is for patients with newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetes is our walk-in clinic. At this time, we confirm the diagnosis of diabetes and commence with on-site treatment. Patients are monitored in the clinic as long as needed to be sure their blood sugar is stable. After they go home, the team at AM Diabetes & Endocrinology Center continues to monitor and see the patient on a daily basis until blood glucose levels are stabilized and a treatment plan is in place. Intensive care for newly diagnosed patients avoids the need for hospitalization and allows patients to continue going to school or work while receiving the diabetes care they need.
In addition, our multidisciplinary team treats all endocrine disorders including hypothyroid, hyperthyroidism, an underactive thyroid, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, thyroid nodules (including on-site biopsy if needed), osteoporosis, PCOS, and other hormonal imbalances.
