QUESTION TO THE ENDOCRINOLOGIST

Endocrinologist Liana Avetisyan answers

What is struma?

Struma is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, which can be diffuse when the entire gland is enlarged, and nodular, when individual nodules form. Hypnosis is endemic, the main cause of which is a lack of iodine in the body. Iodine is obtained from the external environment, and since seafood is scarce in Armenia, salt iodization is mandatory to supplement iodine deficiency.

What is diabetes mellitus?

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by a relative or absolute insufficiency of insulin, which results in a disorder of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and salt water metabolism. It is manifested by high blood glucose levels, clinically manifested by polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (consumption of too much water), weight loss, dry mouth. As I have already mentioned, the reason may be the relative insufficiency of insulin, when the production of insulin in the body is normal, but the sensitivity of the receptors is reduced, or the absolute insufficiency, when there is an obvious lack of insulin produced by the beta cells of the pancreas.

For prevention, regular blood glucose and cholesterol tests should be performed. And if the results are higher than normal, it will be necessary to conduct more in-depth research.

And for those who already have diabetes, it is very important to control the diet, physical activity, use of medication (if prescribed), blood glucose levels. The latter can be done at home with the help of glucometers measuring capillary blood glucose.

At “Vita Longa” Medical Center you can buy Accu-Chek glucometers, test strips, needles and thermos for insulin. And the competent course of diagnosis and treatment will be organized by an endocrinologist.
