I interviewed Dr. Thorp. He is a medical doctor and his specialty is as a diabetologist. A person with skills to be an diabetologist should have a interest in science and health. Dr. Thorp enjoys science and also math. He often uses a lot of math calculations when he works with people and their diet.
All doctors have a responsibility to their patients, the hospitals, and other doctors.
There are many positions available for an diabetologist. As a pediatrician and diabetologist, Dr. Thorp cares for children under the age of 20 years who have diabetes. To do this job, Dr. Thorp sees his patients every 4 to 6 months in a clinic. They bring in their blood sugar log book and have laboratory blood tests done each time they make a clinic visit. This information helps the physician decide how to change the insulin dose.
