• ACTH (Cosyntropin) Stimulation Test: An ACTH stimulation test helps your doctor check how well your adrenal glands are working by measuring your body's response to a hormone, aiding in early detection of potential problems.
• Continuous Glucose Monitoring: Take control of your health with continuous glucose monitoring: a small sensor tracks your glucose levels, alerting you to potential problems and helping prevent serious long-term health issues.
• Dexamethasone Suppression Test: To ensure your hormonal system is functioning correctly, a dexamethasone suppression test assists in the early diagnosis of conditions impacting cortisol production, enabling timely treatment.
• Diabetes Screening: Diabetes screening helps detect high blood sugar levels early, allowing for timely intervention and preventing serious complications.
• Diabetic Evaluation: A diabetic evaluation helps proactively identify and manage blood sugar levels to prevent future complications like heart disease and nerve damage.
• Dynamic Endocrine Function Test: This test helps you understand how your hormones are working over time, enabling early detection of conditions like thyroid disorders or adrenal insufficiency and supporting preventive measures.
• Oral Glucose Tolerance Test: An oral glucose tolerance test is a vital screening tool to detect hidden issues with your blood sugar, enabling early intervention and preventing serious complications.
• Thyroid Hormone Replacement: Proactively manage your thyroid health and improve symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and depression by addressing hormone deficiencies with thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
• Thyroid Nodule Evaluation: A thyroid nodule evaluation helps detect any abnormalities in your thyroid gland early, allowing for prompt treatment and preventing potential complications.
• Thyroid Scan: This imaging test helps visualize your thyroid gland, enabling early detection of nodules, inflammation, or other abnormalities that could signal underlying thyroid conditions.
• Thyroid Screening: Thyroid screening helps detect imbalances early, preventing potential health problems related to your metabolism and overall well-being.
• Water Deprivation Test: To ensure the healthy function of your endocrine system, a water deprivation test helps your doctor detect early signs of diabetes insipidus or other disorders affecting fluid regulation and hormone production.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Endocrine care with Dr. Kalyani Regeti:

What is an Endocrinologist?

An endocrinologist is a doctor specializing in the endocrine system, which includes the glands that produce hormones. They diagnose and treat hormonal imbalances, and manage conditions like 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 is characterized by the body's inability to use insulin effectively (insulin resistance), often managed initially with lifestyle changes and oral medications, though insulin may be needed later.

How can an endocrinologist help with weight management?

Dr. Regeti can investigate and treat any underlying hormonal imbalances that may be contributing to weight gain. She uses an evidence-based approach that may include lifestyle counseling and prescription medications for obesity.

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, causing damage over time. Fortunately, it's easily managed with hormone replacement therapy.

What are the treatment options for Low Testosterone (Low T) in men?

After confirming low testosterone levels with blood tests, Dr. Regeti can discuss various safe and effective testosterone replacement therapy options, including gels, injections, or pellets, to restore normal hormone levels and alleviate symptoms.

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. Regeti 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.

How do insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) help manage diabetes?

Insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are advanced technologies that help achieve tighter diabetes control. A CGM is a sensor that tracks glucose levels throughout the day, preventing dangerous highs and lows. An insulin pump delivers a continuous, precise dose of insulin, mimicking the function of a healthy pancreas.

What is osteoporosis and how can I prevent it?

Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. Prevention strategies include ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, performing weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding smoking. Dr. Regeti can assess your risk and recommend a bone density scan.
