Our billing department can help you understand your coverage and out-of-pocket costs before beginning treatment.

Before your appointment, gather all recent lab results, medication lists, and records from other healthcare providers treating your conditions. Bring blood glucose logs if you have diabetes and any bone density test results. We recommend fasting for 12 hours before your initial appointment for accurate metabolic testing.

Between visits, follow your prescribed medication regimens carefully and monitor your blood glucose levels as directed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is weight loss different for diabetic patients?

Diabetic patients need careful monitoring during weight loss to avoid dangerous blood sugar fluctuations. We adjust diabetes medications as you lose weight and use specialized approaches that improve both weight and glucose control simultaneously.

Can weight loss help improve my diabetes and bone health?

Yes, weight loss often significantly improves blood sugar control and can reduce diabetes medication needs. For bone health, moderate weight loss combined with proper nutrition and exercise can help maintain bone density while reducing fracture risk.

Do you prescribe the new diabetes medications like Ozempic for weight loss?

We prescribe GLP-1 medications like semaglutide when medically appropriate for patients with diabetes or prediabetes who also need weight loss. These medications can be very effective for both glucose control and weight management in qualifying patients.

How often will I need to come in for appointments?

Initially, we typically see patients monthly to monitor progress and adjust treatments. Once your conditions are stable, appointments may be scheduled every 3-6 months depending on your individual needs and how well your conditions are controlled.

What lab tests will I need during treatment?

Regular lab work typically includes hemoglobin A1C for diabetes monitoring, lipid panels, kidney function tests, and vitamin D levels for bone health. The frequency depends on your specific conditions and how well controlled they are.

Can you help if I'm having trouble managing my diabetes on my own?

Absolutely. We specialize in helping patients achieve better diabetes control through medication adjustments, technology like continuous glucose monitors, and comprehensive education about managing your condition effectively.

Will my other doctors need to coordinate with your treatments?

Yes, we work closely with your primary care doctor and other specialists to ensure coordinated care. We communicate regularly about medication changes and treatment plans to avoid conflicts and optimize your overall health.

What should I do if I experience side effects from new medications?

Contact our office immediately if you experience concerning side effects. We have protocols in place for managing common medication side effects and can adjust your treatment plan as needed to maintain safety and effectiveness.
