Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Endocrine care with Dr. Samarth Virmani:

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 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 insulin resistance, where the body doesn't use insulin effectively, often manageable initially with lifestyle changes and oral medications.

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. Virmani 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.

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

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

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, that significantly increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Managing these conditions is a key preventive strategy.

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 of glucose control. It's a critical tool for diagnosing diabetes and monitoring your long-term blood sugar to help prevent future complications.

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 your fracture risk and enabling proactive preventive measures.

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 body's immune system attacks the thyroid gland, causing damage over time. Fortunately, it's easily managed with hormone replacement therapy.
