Resources and Support for Diabetes
Endocrinology is the treatment of patients who have disorders of the endocrine system, such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, growth hormone deficiency, osteoporosis, cholesterol disorders, hypertension, obesity and hormone-related disorders.
In the United States, diabetes is the most common endocrine disease. According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly 10 percent of the US population has diabetes. One in four people with diabetes don’t know they have the disease.
Nationally recognized for treating diabetes
Texoma Medical Center was named a High Performing Hospital for Diabetes by U.S. News & World Report in 2024-25. This is in recognition of care that was significantly better than the national average, as measured by factors such as patient outcomes.

Diabetes is a condition in which the body cannot regulate blood glucose, or sugar, levels appropriately. As a result, glucose levels in the blood become elevated and over time, causing major health problems and sometimes leading to limb amputation or blindness. Those with diabetes are categorized as having type 1 or type 2, based on how the body is producing insulin. While diabetes can't be cured, it can be controlled.
