About Me
Carol J. Levy, MD, CDE is a Professor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Bone Disease, and a Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science. She is a board-certified Endocrinologist and Certified Diabetes Educator.
Dr. Levy is the Director of the Mount Sinai Diabetes Center and Type 1 Diabetes Clinical Research. She is an expert in type 1 diabetes and diabetes in pregnancy as well as general endocrinology. She has over 20 years experience managing patients with these conditions.
Dr. Levy attended medical school with the goal of becoming a physician that she would want to see as a patient. Dr. Levy believes that Endocrinology is an area where physicians help guide patients on the right path to improve health but the “ball” is really in the patient’s court. For Dr. Levy, the role of the physician to educate and support the patient is of key importance. During her training at Joslin Clinic, she developed an interest in taking care of pregnant women with diabetes and delighted in the challenge of caring for “2” patients. She finds general endocrinology both exciting and fascinating as well. Explaining the reason the thyroid works the way it does, hormonal fluctuations and the impact of this on an individual, and the reasons at times the pancreas (the gland that normally makes insulin) does not, is critical to help people take care of their illnesses. As a child, she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and the patience and respect she received from clinicians along the way (including her obstetrician for her own pregnancies) reinforced her belief that a patient who understands the purpose of a treatment is one who is able to best able to manage his//her disease. Returning calls and answering questions thoroughly is a priority. She strives to see patients at their scheduled time so arriving for appointments 5-10 minutes early is greatly appreciated by all patients on her schedule.
As the Director of the Artificial Pancreas Research Program, she and her team strives to continue to improve the lives and glucose control of people with diabetes, by forwarding this technology through both research and clinical care. This pioneering clinical research program collaborates with multiple researchers both nationally and internationally and has the potential to revolutionize the management of patients with type 1 diabetes.
The state of Florida requires out-of-state professionals who are registered to provide telehealth services to display a hyperlink to the Florida Department of Health telehealth web page. This allows Florida patients who are receiving medical care by telehealth to confirm the provider’s licensure and Florida registration.

Research
My academic interests are in the area of clinical trials for development of new treatments for medical conditions within the department of medicine. I coordinate the staff of the clinical trials office and the regulatory and research coordinators who work in this office. Our goals are to assist investigators to have smooth and prompt development of research protocols as well as provide the support to perform these clinical trials and select trials which will hopefully provide benefit to patients along the whole spectrum of disease states.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
