Diabetes

Diabetes is a condition that stops a person’s body from producing enough insulin or responding to it normally. Insulin is a hormone that regulates the amount of glucose (sugar) in the body.

Thyroid Disorders

The thyroid is a gland in the neck that releases hormones that regulate growth, development and metabolism. Most thyroid disorders are caused by a person’s body either not creating enough or creating too much of the thyroid hormones.

Treatment for thyroid disorders vary greatly depending on the situation. We’ll help you decide the best care plan for your thyroid issue and walk you through it every step of the way. Some treatments include:

• Thyroid function tests, including Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) tests
• Block or augment thyroid hormone production
• Radioactive iodine treatment that disables the thyroid
• Thyroid surgery to remove part or the entire gland
