Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Endocrine care with Dr. Sarah Musleh:

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 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 involves the body not using insulin effectively (insulin resistance), often managed initially with lifestyle changes and oral medications, but sometimes requiring insulin later.

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

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

What is a pituitary adenoma?

A pituitary adenoma is a benign tumor of the pituitary gland. Sometimes, these tumors overproduce hormones, or grow large enough to press on nearby structures, causing problems. Dr. Musleh is an expert in diagnosing and medically managing these tumors.

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 control of diabetes. A CGM constantly tracks blood glucose levels, preventing dangerous highs and lows. An insulin pump delivers a precise, continuous dose of insulin, mimicking a healthy pancreas.

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. Musleh 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 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 long-term glucose control to prevent complications.

What is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)?

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