Comprehensive Diabetes Evaluation
Comprehensive diabetes evaluation is done during your visit where baseline status of diabetes control is made after initial examination and history evaluation. The examination is geared towards evaluating complications of diabetes such as eye disease, kidney disease, neuropathy or peripheral vascular disease. In addition, during your visit a comprehensive nutritional assessment and meal planning is done to recommend an optimal meal plan to ensure proper management of your diabetes.
If needed, you will be scheduled for a comprehensive diabetes class where all aspects of diabetes care including complications will be reviewed and addressed.

Virtual running works exactly the same as any other type of running but the difference is that the entered race can be run at any location, at any pace, inside on a treadmill or outside in another country! All you have to do is register and you will receive a Tech-Shirt and a medal. Due to COVID-19 we encourage our participants to run alone or with a limited group in accordance to the CDCs guidelines for social distancing
The Protect Study.
Narrated; by Leslie Draffin, RN
Wear a Mask to Protect Others
Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect others in case you’re infected with COVID-19 but don’t have symptoms
Wear a mask in public settings when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when it may be difficult for you to stay six feet apart
Wear a mask correctly for maximum protection
Don’t put the mask around your neck or up on your forehead
Don’t touch the mask, and, if you do, wash your hands or use hand sanitizer to disinfect
Follow Everyday Health Habits
Stay at least 6 feet away from others
Avoid contact with people who are sick
Wash your hands often, with soap and water, for at least 20 seconds each time
Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available
An Endocrinologist is a specially trained clinician who is qualified to diagnosis conditions that affect the glands. They may diagnose and treat hormone imbalances in the endocrine organs, which include the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, testes and pancreas. #endocrinology #hormonereplacement #endocrinesystem #research #endocrinologia #diabetes #socialdistancing #masks4all #washyourhands #t1d #glucosecontrol #diabetesmanagement #sugar #nutrition #plantbased #diet #amdiabetes #insulin
What is diabetes management?
Managing your diabetes means taking steps to keep your blood sugar within a normal range. While each person’s management plan is customized to meet their unique health needs, the basics of controlling blood sugar are the same for everyone:
Count your carbs
Follow your meal plan
Take your medicine
Check blood glucose levels
Get regular exercise
Stop smoking
Maintain a normal cholesterol level
Maintain a healthy blood pressure
Patients at AM Diabetes & Endocrinology Center get all the support they need for diabetes management through ongoing diabetes education, nutrition and weight-loss services, and comprehensive medical care.
BONE DISORDERS
We treat patients with diagnoses of osteoporosis and/or osteopenia, Paget’s disease, vitamin D deficiency states, rickets, and parathyroid states.
We base our treatment recommendations for osteoporosis on Frax scoring system, which is the recommended treatment algorithm for patients with osteoporosis and treatment is recommended to prevent further fractures.
Hormone replacement therapy?
When you visit AM Diabetes & Endocrinology Center, your provider talks with you about your medical history and symptoms, investigates the cause of your symptoms, and runs lab tests to evaluate your hormone levels.

Medical research is crucial to understanding diseases and developing new ways to prevent, detect, and treat health problems. That’s why Kashif Latif, MD, and the team at AM Diabetes & Endocrinology Center in Bartlett, Tennessee, place a high priority on conducting clinical research, also called clinical trials, for diabetes. These studies are done following rigorous standards that always ensure your safety. If you’re interested in participating in or learning more about current studies, call AM Diabetes & Endocrinology Center and ask to speak to the study nurse. #theprotectstuday #research #diabetesresearch #type1research #T1D

Social distancing refers to the practice of keeping space between yourself and others to reduce the chance of contact with those who knowingly or unknowingly carry an illness.
To help stop the spread of coronavirus, health officials recommend avoiding large gatherings and maintaining a distance of 6 feet from other people. The CDC also recommends use of non-medical, cloth-based face coverings in public settings where social distancing is difficult, such as the grocery store. Medical masks should be reserved for healthcare workers.
Why take the chance of being sick. Protect Yourself and Others from catching the Flu.
Thyroid Disorder
Nodule:
Most forms of thyroid cancer will first present as a nodule. This nodule will be painless and is typically located in the front of the neck, just below Adam’s apple. A person will typically discover a nodule by palpitating the neck. This may be self-discovered in the shower or during a routine examination by a physician.
Typically when a person discovers a solitary nodule they will not think much about it as these nodules typically will not cause any pain and can be somewhat unnoticeable. About four to seven percent of the population nodules on the thyroid are present and most of these nodules are benign.
A solitary nodule is more likely to be malignant in people who are under the age of thirty or over the age of sixty. If you discover a nodule located under Adam’s apple, it is a good idea to have it checked by a doctor to rule out thyroid cancer.
AM Diabetes & Endocrinology Center Self-Management Program
Dr. Kashif Latif received his 1st dose of the Covid-19 vaccine today, and have since received his 2nd dose! This is truly the beginning of the end for corona...
The CDC recommends continuing to follow the recommended preventive measures of masking, physical distancing and handwashing remains critical. While front-line hospital staff are receiving the vaccine, it will likely be well into 2021 before enough people are vaccinated to allow for loosening these recommendations. Front-line health care workers who receive the vaccine will continue to wear masks and proper personal protective equipment.
