Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Endocrine care with Dr. Suzette Robinson:

What is an Endocrinologist?

An endocrinologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions related to the endocrine system, which includes glands that produce hormones. They manage various hormonal imbalances and 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 characterized by insulin resistance, where the body doesn't use insulin properly, often managed initially with lifestyle changes and oral medications.

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 picture of your glucose control. It's a crucial tool for diagnosing diabetes and monitoring your progress in managing your blood sugar to prevent complications.

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

After confirming low testosterone levels with blood tests, Dr. Robinson can discuss various safe and effective testosterone replacement therapy options, such as gels, injections, or pellets. These methods can help restore normal hormone levels and alleviate symptoms like fatigue and low libido.

What is Graves' disease?

Graves' disease is the most common cause of an overactive thyroid. It's an autoimmune disorder where your immune system attacks your thyroid, causing it to produce too much hormone. Fortunately, it's a treatable condition managed effectively by an endocrinologist.

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 and damages the thyroid gland. Fortunately, it's easily managed with hormone replacement therapy.

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 resolved with thyroid hormone replacement therapy, which Dr. Robinson can prescribe and manage.

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 prevention strategies.
