The Most Commonly Asked Questions

Our dietitians can teach you how to count carbohydrates and help you plan meals specific to your needs.

Do I need medication for my entire life if I have hormone irregularities?

It depends on what diagnosis you have. Most problems in this area are caused by a hormone deficiency. If we replace the hormone, the majority of cases will be resolved.

Can I eat as much sugar-free as I like?

Sugar-free sweet foods can be part of a healthy meal program in small quantities. It’s important to be aware that these foods may still contain carbohydrates from sweeteners like sorbitol and isomalt. This can affect your blood glucose levels. In addition to carbohydrates, sugar-free foods can be high in calories and/or fats. Be sure to always read the nutrition list.

What does it matter if my blood glucose is 120 or 200?

Your blood sugar levels must be controlled. High blood sugar levels can damage your veins and arteries. This can lead to complications such as heart attacks and strokes, kidney disease, neuropathies, and vision problems.

Who is at greatest risk for developing thyroid disease?

Thyroid disease is most common in families. If you have thyroid problems in your family, you should see our doctor immediately for a blood test and a physical exam. Thyroid disease is 10 times more common in women than it is in men.
