Reversing Diabetes MD is directed by Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda, MD, MBA, MHP. Type 2 diabetes is usually presented as a permanent diagnosis to be managed, so a practice claiming otherwise should show its credentials first.
Board certification
Dr. Padda holds five American board certifications:
- Anesthesiology — American Board of Anesthesiology
- Interventional Pain — American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians (ABIPP)
- Pain Medicine — American Board of Pain Medicine
- Addiction Medicine — American Board of Addiction Medicine
- Obesity Medicine — American Board of Obesity Medicine
He is also a Fellow of Interventional Pain Physicians (FIPP), a Diplomate of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners, a Certified Physician Executive (CPE), and a certified rater for the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
Why this matters in metabolic care
Dr. Padda is board certified in obesity medicine and is a Diplomate of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. He is not an endocrinologist, and this practice does not present itself as one.
What that training does cover is the part most often left undone: the dietary and metabolic drivers of insulin resistance, addressed directly rather than medicated around. The interest is not incidental — his national lectures have argued the link between metabolic inflammation and chronic pain, which is what brought him to this work from the pain side.
Medication changes are made by prescribers, gradually, with monitoring. Nothing here is a reason to stop a medication on your own.
