Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Endocrine care with Dr. Arshag Mooradian:

What is an Endocrinologist?

An endocrinologist is a medical specialist who focuses on the endocrine system, the network of glands that produce hormones. They are experts in diagnosing and treating hormonal imbalances, and managing conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, and PCOS.

What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body doesn't produce insulin, requiring lifelong insulin therapy. Type 2 diabetes involves the body not using insulin effectively (insulin resistance), often managed initially with lifestyle changes and oral medications, sometimes progressing to insulin therapy.

What is Hashimoto's disease?

Hashimoto's disease is the most common cause of an underactive thyroid in the U.S. It's an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, leading to damage over time. Fortunately, it's easily managed with hormone replacement therapy.

What is metabolic syndrome?

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions, including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess belly fat, and abnormal cholesterol levels. These conditions together significantly increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Fortunately, managing metabolic syndrome is a key preventive strategy.

Why is it important to control blood sugar during pregnancy?

Controlling blood sugar during pregnancy is vital for a healthy pregnancy outcome for both you and your baby. It helps prevent the baby from becoming too large, reduces the risk of a cesarean delivery, and lowers your risk of developing type 2 diabetes later.

I was told I have prediabetes. Can I prevent it from becoming Type 2 diabetes?

Yes, a prediabetes diagnosis is a critical opportunity for prevention. Dr. Mooradian can create a personalized plan involving modest weight loss, dietary changes, and increased physical activity, which can significantly delay or even prevent the onset of Type 2 diabetes.

What is osteoporosis and how can I prevent it?

Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. Preventing osteoporosis involves adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding smoking. Dr. Mooradian can assess your risk and recommend a bone density scan.

What is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder in women, often characterized by irregular periods, acne, and excess hair growth. It's linked to insulin resistance and can impact fertility. Dr. Mooradian can create a comprehensive plan to manage the hormonal and metabolic aspects of PCOS.
