Osteoporosis is usually disease of older adults and post-menopausal women. It is challenging to diagnose and treat diagnosis of osteoporosis and/or diagnosis of low bone density in adults less than 50 years of age. First step is to define if it’s true clinical osteoporosis or just low bone mass on imaging. We have accelerated bone development and accrue all our bone mass by age 30 years. If for ...

Short Term Weight Loss Fixes vs Long Term Wellbeing
Nowadays, everywhere we look, there is talk of once-a-week injectable medications, obtained through various means, in order to lose weight. Conversations regarding weight loss and invariably about once-weekly slimming injections or pills have become dinner table conversations. The opinions can vary on “how come you are not on Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, etc., etc.”, to “How can you take these toxic ...

Understanding Fatigue
Fatigue is one of the most common reasons for patients to seek evaluation by an endocrinologist. Appropriate evaluation for endocrine and metabolic causes could include tests for hypothyroidism or adrenal insufficiency or low testosterone or vitamin B12 deficiency or iron deficiency. But frequently these tests are negative and that we need to consider other possible causes. I Infectious diseases ...

It is common knowledge that patients with type 1 or type 2 DM can develop changes to their small vessels and develop complications of retina, kidneys, and nerves, named as diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. It is interesting to note, that microvascular complications are certainly associated with elevated blood glucose, poorly controlled blood pressure, and poorly controlled ...

Another Consequence of Covid: Rise in Tinnitus
A few weeks ago, I saw a patient that came to see me for evaluation of testosterone replacement. He had been told by another provider that his fatigue was likely due to low testosterone even though his levels were in range and he denied low libido (sexual drive) per se. Upon asking questions, it turns out that the fatigue was likely due to his lack of sleep which in turn he attributed to a buzzing ...

Whereas in the past, insulin was stored in vials and delivered by syringes, these days patients most ...

Covid-19 has considerably changed the way people live their day to day lives. Many are concerned about going into a doctor’s office or leaving their homes at all. People still need access to medical care and need an effective and appropriate way to speak with their healthcare provider during a pandemic. In many instances, telehealth visits can bridge that gap.

NPD affects about 6% of the general population and it is more common in men. ...

Starting Insulin Injections
If you have type 2 diabetes you have probably started treatment with oral medications. Over the years the ability of your pancreas to make insulin declines by average 4% per year. You may have added 2 or 3 or 4 different medicines to keep the blood sugars under control. At some point, your doctor may suggest that you start insulin. One good thing about insulin is that it is natural to your body ...

Today was particularly stressful and chaotic. Today was first day of school!

Hyperglycemia
Glucose is kept within a range we called "normal" in the blood. Fasting (for 8 hours) normal values of blood glucose are 90 - 130 mg/dl. Hyperglycemia is defined as fasting blood glucose (for 8h) above 90 - 130 mg/dl. Postprandial blood glucose is defined: above 180 mg/dl. A history and physical examination should be performed with a focus on trying to identify a precipitating cause of the ...

Impact of Stress on Blood Glucose Levels
I still get surprised when patients get surprised when I tell them that stress and emotions can affect their blood sugars. In most cases it will raise the blood sugars, but occasionally it may drop them. Remember the stress hormone is cortisol. By now most of you know that glucocorticoids -a type of steroids (prednisone and cortisone) similar to cortisol causes resistance to the actions of insulin ...
