Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Endocrine care with Dr. Marco Fiore:

What is an Endocrinologist?

An endocrinologist is a doctor specializing in the endocrine system, which includes glands that produce hormones. They diagnose and treat hormonal imbalances, and manage conditions like diabetes, thyroid problems, osteoporosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome (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 not using insulin effectively (insulin resistance), often managed initially with lifestyle changes and oral medications.

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

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

What is a bone density test (DEXA scan)?

A DEXA scan is a simple, low-radiation X-ray that measures bone mineral density. It's the gold standard for diagnosing osteopenia and osteoporosis, helping assess fracture risk and is a critical preventive tool.

Why is it important to control blood sugar during pregnancy?

Controlling blood sugar during pregnancy is essential to prevent complications for both mother and baby, including a larger-than-normal baby, potential need for a C-section, and a reduced risk of the mother developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.

I have a thyroid nodule. Does this mean I have cancer?

The vast majority of thyroid nodules are benign. Dr. Fiore is experienced in evaluating nodules, often using ultrasound and sometimes a fine-needle aspiration biopsy to determine if further testing is needed.

What is Graves' disease?

Graves' disease is the most common cause of an overactive thyroid. It's an autoimmune disorder where your immune system mistakenly attacks your thyroid, causing it to produce too much hormone. Fortunately, it's a treatable condition, and our endocrinologists can help manage it.

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. Ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, performing weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding smoking are key prevention strategies. Dr. Fiore can assess your risk and recommend a bone density scan.
