The Diabetes Control Center is a medical practice focused on diabetes and thyroid problems. Charles H. Raine, Jr, M.D. has been engrossed in the treatment of diabetes and thyroid issues for more than 20 years. We believe the serious complications of these endocrine problems can be slowed or even prevented by applying time tested scientific tactics. Dr. Raine is a former adjunct professor of Medicine, Endocrine Division, Medical University of South Carolina.
