Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Endocrine care with Dr. Tina Thethi:

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 involves insulin resistance, meaning the body doesn't use insulin effectively, often managed initially with lifestyle changes and oral medications, and sometimes progressing to insulin therapy.

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

The vast majority of thyroid nodules are benign. Dr. Thethi is experienced in evaluating nodules, often using ultrasound and potentially a fine-needle aspiration biopsy to determine the best course of action.

How can an endocrinologist help with weight management?

Dr. Thethi 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 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.

Why is it important to control blood sugar during pregnancy?

Controlling blood sugar during pregnancy is vital to prevent complications for both the 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.

What is a pituitary adenoma?

A pituitary adenoma is a benign tumor of the pituitary gland. They can sometimes cause problems by overproducing hormones or growing large enough to press on nearby structures. Dr. Thethi is an expert in diagnosing and medically managing these tumors.

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. Thethi 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.
