    "Very attentive doctor. Called, asked questions, and provided good information on the phone and in a newspaper column. Dr. Roshin does not have a office or staff. He does everything by himself. He published answers to my questions on his website, DoctorAdvice4u.com.

    "I contacted Dr. Rowjee through his website. I had a skin condition, and he was very prompt with his reply. Very professional and paid close attention to me with several calls. Very good overall experience. The website is Doctoradvice4u.com. He took no fees or money for his service saying he is doing this out of his humanitarian side. "

Hello Madam,

Losing weight typically improves diabetes by decreasing insulin resistance with tight glycemic control. However, you mentioned that your “blood sugars were out of whack” thus, out of control blood sugars worsen diabetes potentially leading to weight gain. However, due to your medical history of hypothyroidism, a thyroid panel should be ordered to check the activity level of your thyroid gland. An underactive thyroid gland would also contribute to weight gain, and your doctor could provide medicine to boost the gland’s activity level. The thyroid medication, if needed, along with lifestyle changes (modified diet and tolerable exercise regimen) should help maintain weight loss. Consult your doctor on reducing glucose levels and an exercise program as well as a nutritionist on a diabetic diet. Thank you for your question and trust.

Respectfully,

Dr. Roshin
