Metabolic Weight Loss
One of the most important accomplishments at Condon Medical has been the discovery and publication of the differences in caloric metabolism in diabetes and prediabetes vs. people not at risk for these disorders. This has resulted in the strong support for early treatment of prediabetes and other...

Do I need to take insulin forever?
Your doctor should measure your own levels but checking your c-peptide. C peptide is part of the insulin molecule not found in commercial preparations. If you make substantial c-peptide your endocrinologist can probably get you off insulin. READ MORE
Does insulin cause weight gain?
Insulin absolutely causes weight gain by stimulating appetite and making everythin you eat get absorbed. Most endocrinologists will try hard not to use insullin if you are gaining weight. READ MORE
When does medication start for diabetes?
This depends on whom you see. The new guidelines for the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology would recommend treatment of a pre diabetic to prevent the patient from becoming an actual diabetic. READ MORE
What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?
Type 1 is caused by a genetic mutation which allows the insulin producing cells (beta cells) to be destroyed by the patients own immune system. Type 2 is due to the body cells being resistant to the patients own insulin resulting in overproduction of insulin by the pancreas. This HIGH insulin level is needed to make the cell accept glucose. Type 1 is not genetic. Type 2 is genetically transmitted. If one parent has Type 2, 25% of the children will get it. If both parents have Type 2, 100% of the children will get it. READ MORE
My HbA1C reports have reduced from 7 to 4.2. Does it mean I'm no longer at risk for diabetes?
You are still a pre diabetic and as you age the levels will go back up. You need to maintain a normal weight which will delay the disease return for the longest possible time. Diabetes is a cellular resistant state which does not go away permanently. READ MORE
Why is diabetes causing weight loss in my husband?
There are many reasons your husband may be loosing weight and you should discuss this with your primary. If his HBaic is 8 or greater he is not holding on to all of the calories he is eating. The kidney will try and get rid of or spill the glucose out. In some diabetes this is a reason to lose weight. READ MORE
If I had diabetes during pregnancy, are there chances I will get the disease later in life?
Type II Diabetes is the out of control genetics linked to anti starving. The increased metabolic load of a pregnancy reveals the underlying condition, and it usually goes away after the baby is born. It will return but can be delayed by good dietary habits, exercise and maintaining a near ideal weight. READ MORE
Do natural remedies help in reversing diabetes type 1?
There is no herbal to treat type 1 diabetes. Prior to 1921 it was a fatal disease. There are interesting studies being done at Mass General in boston which may alter the immune mechanism to a point where some function may return. See BCG vaccine studies and Type I diabetes. READ MORE
What should be the ideal HbA1C for a diabetic patient?
The ideal Hbaic is determined by your age. If you are under 65 the goal is 6.5-7.0 without hypoglycemia. Every time your Hbaic is one point above 7 the cardiovascular risk doubles. eg. 8 double, 9 times 4, 10 times 8. So you clearly want to be 6.5 to 7 READ MORE
Do medicines lose their effectiveness if taken for a long period of time?
Some medications do lose their effect. Especially drugs like glimemperide, glipizide and other sulfonoureas. READ MORE
My husband feels very hungry with his diabetic medication. What should I do?

Why am I not putting on weight?
This is an important complaint which requires a good evaluation with history and physical. It may not be due to diabetes alone and could represent other serious diseases. Please discuss with your primary and ask if referral is required. Edward M. Condon, MD, FACE, ECNU READ MORE
My mother suffered from 3 episodes of hypoglycemia in a day. Will she be okay?
Multiple hypoglycemia in a patient over age 65 is dangerous. It may be due to eating habits, drugs selected, or patient compliance. An immediate visit should be made to the responsible physician. If the patient fails to respond normally, an ambulance should be called. READ MORE
Are my insulin injections permanent?
The answer requires knowing how much insulin your own body presently produces. This may be measured by checking fasting and post meal levels of c peptide or insulin. Once that is known your medication history, your weight, your dietary history would allow an accurate evaluation of your other alternatives. If you do not make adequate insulin you will need to remain on this essential hormone. READ MORE

I came into Dr. Condon's office after hearing all the wonderful things from family and friends who are current patients. I have extremely hard veins and the girls who take the blood are always very patient with me and always get it instantly. The practitioners are always very caring and take their time listening to me. I never feel rushed when I'm in the office.

I've been a patient of dr. Condon's for many years. I've always found him to be an excellent Doctor. Keeps my thyroid levels in check and I would never think of changing my Endocrinologists.
Michelle

Dr. Condon is an excellent Doctor. I have been going to his office for 7 years now due to my thyroid issues and pre diabetic condition. Every time I saw him or one of his NP's I always left the office feeling satisfied with my visit. The office staff sometimes does seem a little overwhelmed but I would not consider them nasty. I have referred this Doctor to many of my family and friends and they seem to have no major complaints as well.
