Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Endocrine care with Dr. Morolake Amole:

What is an Endocrinologist?

An endocrinologist is a doctor specializing in the endocrine system, the network of glands that produce hormones. They diagnose and treat hormonal imbalances, and manage 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 is a condition where the body doesn't use insulin properly (insulin resistance), often managed initially with lifestyle changes and oral medications.

Why is it important to control blood sugar during pregnancy?

Controlling blood sugar during pregnancy is vital to prevent complications for both you and your baby. It helps prevent the baby from becoming too large, reduces the risk of a C-section delivery, and lowers your future risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

How can an endocrinologist help with weight management?

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

What is the A1c test and why is it important?

The A1c test is a blood test that shows your average blood sugar level over the past 2-3 months. Unlike a daily finger-stick, which is a snapshot, the A1c provides a longer-term view. It's a crucial tool for diagnosing diabetes and monitoring your long-term glucose control to prevent complications.

What are the common symptoms of an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)?

Common symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, weight gain, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, and feeling cold. These symptoms are often effectively managed with thyroid hormone replacement therapy, which Dr. Morolake Amole can prescribe and monitor.

Can hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause be safe?

Yes, for the right candidate. For many women, HRT is a safe and effective way to manage bothersome menopausal symptoms. Dr. Amole will conduct a thorough risk assessment to determine if a patient is a good candidate and will prescribe the lowest effective dose for the appropriate duration.

What is a pituitary adenoma?

A pituitary adenoma is a benign tumor of the pituitary gland. Sometimes, they cause problems by overproducing hormones or growing large enough to press on nearby structures. Dr. Morolake Amole is an expert in diagnosing and medically managing these tumors.
