C-Peptide Test Essential after Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis
C-peptide testing a few years after a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes should be a routine procedure as it can help pinpoint occasional patients who have been misdiagnosed and actually have type 2 diabetes or a monogenic form of the disease. More...03 Apr 2019
Increased Hormones Lead to Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, also known as IIH, is caused by high pressure in the brain with consequences from blindness to incapacitating daily long-term headaches. Patients have reduced quality of life due to chronic headaches and papilledema-induced visual loss which is permanent in 25% of patients. More...02 Apr 2019
