About us
TopInspired.com: a specialist team built around your hormone health
Hormones influence almost everything — blood sugar, weight, energy, mood, fertility and bone strength. When something goes wrong, you deserve more than a rushed appointment and a new prescription.
TopInspired was created to give people living with diabetes and endocrine conditions the time, expertise and continuity that specialist care should offer. Our clinicians follow the latest ADA Standards of Care and Endocrine Society clinical practice guidelines, then pair that evidence with practical coaching from diabetes educators and dietitians — so your plan works in real life, not just on paper.
- Care led by endocrinology specialists from your first visit
- Written care plans shared with your primary care doctor
- Support for CGMs, insulin pumps and connected pens
- In-person and secure video appointments
What we treat
Conditions our endocrinologists treat at TopInspired.com
From newly found prediabetes to complex thyroid and pituitary conditions, TopInspired specialists diagnose and manage the full range of hormone disorders. Choose a condition to learn about symptoms, testing and treatment.
Type 1 Diabetes
An autoimmune condition that requires daily insulin. We help you fine-tune insulin, CGM, and pump settings for safer, steadier glucose.
Symptoms, tests & treatmentType 2 Diabetes
The most common form of diabetes. We personalize medications, glucose monitoring, and lifestyle plans to protect your heart, kidneys, and eyes.
Symptoms, tests & treatmentPrediabetes
Higher-than-normal blood sugar that rarely causes symptoms. Acting early can lower your chances of developing type 2 diabetes.
Symptoms, tests & treatmentGestational Diabetes
High blood sugar that first appears in pregnancy. We work with your OB team on glucose targets, insulin if needed, and postpartum follow-up.
Symptoms, tests & treatmentThyroid Disorders
Underactive or overactive thyroid, Hashimoto's, Graves' disease, or nodules: we pinpoint the cause and fine-tune treatment to how you feel.
Symptoms, tests & treatmentPCOS & Hormonal Imbalance
Irregular periods, acne, excess hair, or weight changes? We diagnose PCOS (now also called PMOS) and treat its hormonal and metabolic effects.
Symptoms, tests & treatmentOsteoporosis & Bone Health
Bone loss often causes no symptoms until a fracture. We review bone density, look for hidden causes, and tailor treatment to lower fracture risk.
Symptoms, tests & treatmentAdrenal & Pituitary Disorders
From adrenal insufficiency and Cushing's to primary aldosteronism and pituitary tumors, we untangle complex hormone problems with careful testing.

Know your numbers
How diabetes and prediabetes are diagnosed
These are the diagnostic ranges used by the American Diabetes Association. Unless you have clear symptoms of high blood sugar, a diagnosis is normally confirmed by a second abnormal result — either the same test repeated or two different tests.
A1C can be misleading with anemia, pregnancy, recent blood loss or certain hemoglobin variants. Your TopInspired specialist will choose the right test for you. The NIDDK explains how each diabetes test works.
| Test | Normal | Prediabetes | Diabetes |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1C | Below 5.7% | 5.7% – 6.4% | 6.5% or higher |
| Fasting plasma glucose | Below 100 mg/dL | 100 – 125 mg/dL | 126 mg/dL or higher |
| 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test | Below 140 mg/dL | 140 – 199 mg/dL | 200 mg/dL or higher |
| Random glucose with classic symptoms | — | — | 200 mg/dL or higher |

Modern diabetes care
Advanced diabetes technology, with a human at the center
Today’s tools can make diabetes far easier to live with — but only when they are set up well and the data is actually used. At TopInspired, technology supports the conversation instead of replacing it.
Continuous glucose monitoring
We help you choose, start and interpret a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and review your glucose report at every visit.
Insulin pumps & automated delivery
Guidance on insulin pumps, hybrid closed-loop systems and connected pens — from choosing a device to fine-tuning settings.
Modern medication expertise
GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 medicines, SGLT2 inhibitors and insulin regimens, selected to protect your heart and kidneys as well as your glucose.
Nutrition & lifestyle support
Realistic eating, activity and sleep strategies that fit your culture, schedule and budget — no fad diets.
Your care team
Meet the TopInspired.com care team
Diabetes and hormone conditions are managed best by a coordinated team. Every patient has access to three kinds of expertise, working from one shared plan.
Diabetes Care & Education Specialists
Clinicians with advanced training (CDCES) who teach the practical skills — using a CGM or pump, insulin technique, sick-day rules and preventing lows.
Registered Dietitians
Nutrition experts (RDNs) who build eating plans around your glucose data, preferences and goals for A1C, weight and energy.
Is it time?
When should you see an endocrinologist?
Your primary care doctor can manage many hormone problems, but specialist input often makes the biggest difference when a condition is new, complex or not responding to treatment. Consider booking with TopInspired if any of these sound familiar:

TopInspired.com FAQs: endocrinology & diabetes care
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Can’t find yours? Our team is happy to help.
Contact TopInspiredWhat does an endocrinologist do?
An endocrinologist is a physician who specializes in the endocrine system — the glands and hormones that regulate metabolism, energy, growth, reproduction and bone health. At TopInspired, our endocrinology team diagnoses and manages conditions such as type 1 and type 2 diabetes, thyroid disease, PCOS, osteoporosis and adrenal or pituitary disorders, usually working alongside your primary care doctor.
What is TopInspired.com?
TopInspired.com is the website of TopInspired, a specialist-led endocrinology and diabetes practice. It is where you can read our condition guides, see how a consultation works and request an appointment with an endocrinologist, diabetes care and education specialist or registered dietitian — in person or by secure video.
Do I need a referral to book an appointment at TopInspired.com?
Many patients can book directly. Some insurance plans — particularly HMOs — require a referral from your primary care provider before a specialist visit is covered, so check your plan first. If you do have a referral letter, send it with your recent lab results so we can prepare for your first consultation.
What should I bring to my first endocrinology appointment?
Bring photo ID and your insurance card, a list of every medication and supplement you take (with doses), recent lab results such as A1C or thyroid tests, and your glucose meter, CGM app login or logbook if you have diabetes. Writing down your questions beforehand helps you get the most from the visit.
Can I see a TopInspired.com specialist online?
Yes. Many follow-up visits — reviewing CGM data, adjusting medication or discussing lab results — work well over secure video. A first visit, or any visit that needs a physical exam such as a thyroid or foot check, may need to be in person. Virtual care availability can also depend on the state you are in.
Can type 2 diabetes go into remission?
For some people, yes. An international consensus report led by the American Diabetes Association defines remission as an A1C below 6.5% that is maintained for at least three months after stopping glucose-lowering medication. Substantial weight loss is the strongest predictor. Remission is not a cure, so regular monitoring continues — your TopInspired specialist can tell you whether it is a realistic goal for you.
How often should my A1C be checked?
The ADA Standards of Care recommend checking A1C at least twice a year if you are meeting your treatment goals, and about every three months if your treatment has changed or you are not yet at goal. If you use a CGM, your specialist will also review metrics such as time in range.
