CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic

At CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic, if diabetes, thyroid concerns, weight changes, bone health or abnormal lab results are affecting your life, an endocrinology visit can help you understand what may be happening and what to do next.

Hormone concerns can be hard to notice at first. You may feel tired, gain or lose weight, feel shaky, notice changes in your mood or hear from your provider that your blood sugar, thyroid or hormone levels need a closer look. 

You do not have to know the cause before you schedule. Your care team can listen to your symptoms, review your health history and help create a plan that fits your needs. 

When to see an endocrinology provider

A visit with an endocrinology provider may help if you have been told you have, or may have:

• Diabetes or prediabetes
• Thyroid disease
• Hyperthyroidism
• Osteoporosis
• Adrenal gland concerns
• Pituitary gland concerns
• Obesity or weight-related health concerns
• Hormone changes that affect your daily life
• Abnormal blood sugar, calcium or hormone lab results

Small changes in your body can feel stressful when you do not know why they are happening. Getting answers can help you feel more prepared and supported. 

Care for diabetes and blood sugar

Managing diabetes can feel like a lot to carry. Your meals, medicine, blood sugar numbers and daily routine can all affect how you feel. 

Your endocrinology provider can help you understand your numbers, talk through your questions and guide a care plan that supports your health over time. You can also ask about ways to lower your risk, manage symptoms and make small changes that feel possible. 

Thyroid and Hormone care

Your thyroid helps control how your body uses energy. When it is overactive or underactive, you may notice changes in weight, energy, sleep, heart rate, mood or temperature sensitivity.

A visit can help connect your symptoms with your lab results. Your provider can explain what your thyroid levels may mean and help guide next steps for treatment or follow-up.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Your first visit is a time to talk through what you have been feeling. Your provider may review your symptoms, medications, health history and recent lab results.

You may need blood work or other testing to help your care team better understand your hormone health. Before you leave, you should know what your next step is and when to follow up.
