Did you know? 🤔

Type 1.5 diabetes, also known as LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults), is an autoimmune condition. It often gets misdiagnosed as Type 2 diabetes, but it has a key difference: the body's immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

Understanding the type of diabetes is crucial for proper treatment and management!

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄?

LADA, or Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults, is a unique form of diabetes that shares traits with both Type 1 and Type 2.

While it progresses slowly like Type 2, it's actually an autoimmune condition similar to Type 1, meaning the body attacks insulin-producing cells. This is why it requires more than just diet and exercise to manage.

Understanding the difference is key to proper treatment! If you do need help, please get in touch with our practice to book an appointment.

The postpartum period is a time of immense change and emotion. While "baby blues" are common, persistent symptoms like extreme fatigue, mood swings, and difficulty sleeping might be a sign of something more.

Postpartum Thyroiditis (PPT), an inflammation of the thyroid gland that can occur in the first year after giving birth.

PPT often goes undiagnosed because its symptoms can mimic the typical exhaustion and emotional rollercoaster of new motherhood. These can include:

💙Anxiety and irritability

💙Sudden weight changes (gain or loss)

💙Extreme fatigue

💙Difficulty concentrating

💙Hair loss

A simple blood test can help to understand what's happening and distinguish between a hormonal imbalance and other causes. If you're a new mom and feel like something is "off," please don't hesitate to reach out. Your well-being is a priority.

Winter is here and many of us tend to spend less time outdoors, potentially missing out on our vital "sunshine vitamin" – Vitamin D!

Vitamin D is not just for strong bones; it plays a critical role in your hormone health, immune system, and overall well-being.

Why Winter is Key for Vitamin D Checks:
🌞Less direct sunlight exposure means less natural Vitamin D production.

🌞Deficiency can impact your energy levels, mood, and even make you more susceptible to illness.

🌞For endocrine patients, maintaining optimal Vitamin D levels is even more vital for managing conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, and bone health.

If you're concerned about your Vitamin D levels, get in touch with us. We can help you understand your needs.

Prediabetes is more than just a precursor to type 2 diabetes; it's a condition where your blood sugar is high enough to start causing harm.

Over time, this can lead to serious issues, including an increased risk of heart attack and stroke, kidney disease, nerve damage (neuropathy), and even vision problems.

Understanding these risks is the first step toward taking control and making the changes needed to safeguard your health.

If you are concerned, it would be best to make an appointment with your preferred medical practitioner.
