Dr. Regan Roat, MD, PhD is an endocrinologist at the Joslin Diabetes Center. She earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and subsequently obtained her MD and PhD degrees through the combined Physician Scientist track at the University of South Dakota. Following graduation, she attended Internal Medicine residency training at the Medical University of South Carolina, in Charleston, and then moved to Boston for fellowship training in Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the Joslin Diabetes Center.
Dr. Roat currently sees patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes for preconception counseling and management of diabetes during pregnancy. She also sees patients who develop gestational diabetes or abnormal blood glucose levels during their pregnancy. She practices in the ambulatory setting and also serves as an Attending Physician for the Diabetes and Pregnancy inpatient service at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where she works closely with the endocrinology fellows. In addition to pregnancy, Dr. Roat also sees adult patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
