Valeria聽Bohrt-Terceros,聽M.D., discusses what is new and upcoming in the field of Endocrinology and Diabetes.
My name is value, Bert. I am the new endocrinologist for Sentara Princess Anne. Obviously, signs always evolves, and that just makes us better trading out of patients on dykan. Tell you a little bit about what we have new coming down the pike in a couple different conditions. Um, always diabetes is an evolving field. Um, there is always, um, the science behind. Why are patients being diabetic? How? Toe prevent diabetes. Um, how we screening earlier? Obviously. Um, how do we treat patients better and improve their blood sugars with new medications? Um, combination medications, pills and injectables? Um, along with diabetes, there's the management of obesity. Um, if we manage patients weights, if we help them lose weight, how can we prevent improve their outcomes and their conditions? A swell, um, in the same chapter off blood, sugars and diabetes? Um, there's a lot of new technology coming out that allow us to manage patients better, and not just a zone insulin pump, but glucose devices that allowed for monitoring or blood sugars. Um, that has come out fairly recent. There's a couple of new gadgets out there. Um, all of this together kind of aids as helping the patients achieve their goals on the thyroid cancer front. How have we reclassified the disease? Um, to make sure the patients have a more realistic outcome and not to over treat is always important. Who actually need surgery? How much surgery? Who would need extra treatment, such as radioactive iodine ablation on? How do we follow them? Um, how often do we do the screen and why not? Um, that's always great, especially when you have to treat anybody that the diagnosis carries cancer along with it for osteoporosis. Um, we had not had Medicaid new medication for a long time. Um, and now we have a couple of new drugs that actually have shown to improve the bone density a lot, a lot faster, um, than others. And so for patients that I have really low bone density readings, we're able to reel them back in into a less risky category for sure and decrease their risk off future fractures and other com abilities.
