Houston, TX (PRWEB) May 07, 2013 <\/p>\n
PreDiabetes Centers, the nationwide leader in customized prediabetes treatment, today announced the opening of a new location in Houston and the appointment of Dr. Meg Qayum to lead the treatment center. Dr. Qayum is a board-certified physician with many years of experience in treating chronic disease. As a prediabetes physician, she will direct medical care for patients enrolled in the Companys 12-month comprehensive treatment program. <\/p>\n
Dr. Qayum specializes in integrative and functional medicine. She received her medical degree and residency training from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans. She is a member of the Fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, the Institute for Functional Medicine, and the American College for Advancement in Medicine. Dr. Qayum served as the Wellness Director of Divinity Med Spa & Wellness where she used a combination of bioidentical hormone therapy and customized nutrition and fitness therapy to treat people with hormone imbalance conditions, including weight gain, loss of energy, low libido, stress and depression. <\/p>\n
She will meet with clients at the PreDiabetes Center of North Houston at 13688 Breton Ridge Street, Suite F. <\/p>\n
Dr. Qayum is excited about incorporating a multi-faceted approach to prediabetes care. This is the first program that looks at all contributing factors of the disease, she said, noting that the program uses continuous biomarker tests to ensure that individual markers of health are improving in conjunction with treatment. <\/p>\n
Dr. Qayum says that people with prediabetes need targeted medical treatment in order to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes. <\/p>\n
You cant treat a chronic disease on your own. [Prediabetics] need a team approach to help guide them through [treatment], said Dr. Qayum. <\/p>\n
She notes that even if a person never progress to diabetes, he or she still has harmful conditions occurring in the body, such as inflammation, high blood pressure or abnormal cholesterol levels, that can lead to long-term health problems. A comprehensive prediabetes treatment plan targets these underlying imbalances and can help reverse their devastating effects. <\/p>\n
Dr. Qayum said that many factors contribute to a prediabetes diagnosis, but nutrition, in particular, is a serious problem. <\/p>\n
People who are in their 30s and 40s were raised in a generation when soft drinks werent considered bad, says Dr. Qayum. <\/p>\n
