Our Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Endocrinology

What makes Dr. Cano's approach to diabetes treatment different?

Unlike conventional management, Dr. Cano uses advanced metrics (such as arterial stiffness and insulin sensitivity) to detect cardiovascular risk long before symptoms appear, enabling truly preventive medicine.

How does the Nutrition Unit help with my endocrine treatment?

Symptoms of endocrine diseases vary widely depending on the specific condition. However, some common symptoms include unexplained weight loss or gain, fatigue, mood swings, changes in appetite, frequent urination, and changes in heart rate.

When should I see a specialist for a thyroid problem?

If you notice a lump in the neck area, unexplained changes in your weight, extreme fatigue, or heart rate alterations, it is essential to have an ultrasound and an evaluation by a specialist like Dr. Cano to rule out nodules or functional dysfunctions.
