Description
“Diagnosing and Managing Addison’s Disease” features Kevin Fernando (MD) walking through a primary care case involving type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, and recurring hypoglycemia. He breaks down how symptoms like vitiligo, dizziness, reduced insulin needs, and orthostatic hypotension may point to adrenal insufficiency. Fernando clearly explains how general practitioners can spot Addison’s disease sooner and why quick action can lower the chances of an adrenal crisis, especially in patients with similar autoimmune issues that are often overlooked at first.
