Need recommendation for Diabetic specialist at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital

[R123]

My friend is currently receiving treatment for diabetics at a private hospital in Pattaya (not BP Hospital) but the doctors treating him appear to be non specialist. His monitor readings are over 400 and he was recently rushed to hospital having gone unconscious due to an adverse reaction to insulin.

Can anyone recommend a specialist diabetic doctor at Bangkok Pattaya Hospital?

Many thanks in advance.

This lists all the endocrinologists at BPH: https://www.bangkokpattayahospital.com/en/find-a-doctor-en.html

I don't have any feedback on any of them, most of the diaebtics I know in Pattaya come to Bangkok for treatment,

All are board certified in endo, but none have any training outside of Thailand.

Dr Karnsiri is an Endo. She does very well.

Dr Rosanee at Bumrungrad is very good.

You know how it is Sheryl, In my decades of seeing Drs they ALL say the same things Word for Word. I have no reason to doubt Dr Karnsiri is a trained Endo

May i say thank you so much for everyone who has posted a reply to my initial post, namely, Sheryl, Gary B 1263, Chiang Mai.

And Sheryl you are doing great work so hope it continues!

After reading all your posts this morning i made an appointment for my friend with Dr Karnsiri at BPH earlier today. My friend says the doctor and the nursing staff are efficient, knowledgeable, and very professional.

It is fortunate my friend went when he did as his reading was down to 35, but he was stabilised and the reading normalised thereafter.

The doctor has changed the dosage of the insulin and the oral meds. There was an interview with a dieticien and a 2 page diet sheet given.

A diabetics manual was provided for a record of all meds and readings to be taken.

There is another appointment in less than 2 weeks.

So far so good. And the total bill was very reasonable in my view.

How much better than the un named hospital he initially went to in Pattaya which had little of the professialism experienced at BPH. At the first hospital he was seen by a non specialist who appears to rarely be at the hospital, and when he was rushed there by ambulence a few days ago. he was kept overnight but in the morning presented with a bill for almost 20,000 baht.

In any event i will not dwell on that right now; my friend is special to me and because all your prompt and helpful replies he is much better off now than he was a day ago.

So: thanks again!
