La remisión de la diabetes tipo 2 es posible. Se requiere una pérdida de peso sustancial (>10%), reserva beta pancreática preservada, niveles no tan elevados de A1c (<7-8%) y menos de 3 años de diagnóstico. Pero si actuamos en prediabetes, es aún mejor 😉 El tempo es oro.
Clinic week:
✔️ A week to catch up with people trying to do their best with the resources they have despite unbearable social determinants of health.
✔️ A week to show as much compassion and interest as possible -even with 20 min p/pt-
✔️ A week to prevent hospitalizations
When you do what you love you are filled with joy. I am grateful to have gotten the opportunity to present my work at the @AmThyroidAssn conference. And I feel overjoyed to have received this award. My heart is filled with nothing but gratitude.

Time to sit and wait, which, in my opinion, is the hardest part of the season.
To my fellow IMGs, our interviews take longer to arrive, don’t worry, you’ll be fine.
Deep breaths, in and out. It’s about to get very exciting ☺️
