Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Endocrine care with Dr. Yosi Adeoshun:

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.

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

Common symptoms of an underactive thyroid 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. Adeoshun can prescribe and monitor.

What is osteoporosis and how can I prevent it?

Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. Preventing osteoporosis involves ensuring adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, performing weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding smoking. Dr. Adeoshun can assess your risk and recommend a bone density scan.

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 cesarean delivery, and lowers your future risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

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 the thyroid gland, but it's easily managed with hormone replacement therapy.

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. Adeoshun 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.

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. Adeoshun 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.
