Being referred to an Endocrinologist does not necessarily indicate a worsening of your Diabetes. It could be for obtaining additional perspectives on optimal management strategies or for ruling out other endocrine and metabolic disorders.
Such consultation can provide further insights into insulin and pancreatic function, as well as other metabolic processes within the body, enabling the development of a more effective Diabetes treatment plan.
Certainly, you can. An Endocrinologist can assist in diagnosing the underlying cause. However, for ongoing management and tailored treatment, consulting a Diabetologist may be advisable.
Uncontrolled Diabetes can lead to various complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, nerve damage, eye problems, and foot problems.
Thyroid disorders, especially untreated or poorly managed ones, can affect fertility and increase the risk of complications during pregnancy, including miscarriage, preterm birth, and developmental issues in the baby.
It's important for women with thyroid disorders to receive proper medical care before and during pregnancy.
In some cases, especially if you have Diabetes and other Hormonal disorders, you may benefit from seeing both a Diabetologist and an Endocrinologist to ensure comprehensive care and management of your condition.
Your primary care physician can help coordinate care between the two specialists if needed.
