I'm William Horton, I’m an endocrinologist here at the University of Virginia. Any patient with an endocrine issue is someone that I would be seeing in clinic. Anything from diabetes to thyroid issues, osteoporosis to adrenal issues. I actually have type 1 diabetes myself. So it's something I'm interested in personally and professionally and I do enjoy taking care of diabetic patients in clinic. Living with type 1 diabetes has been a very unique experience that shaped my career. It was one of the driving reasons that I initially went into medicine and then as I was trying to figure out what specialty I wanted to go into, endocrinology kept kind of pulling me back and I think that was due to a lot of learned experience of living with the disease. And I think it provides a unique opportunity to be able to relate to patients personally and kind of understand some of the challenges that come with living with diabetes and then it provides motivation to find answers for ways that we can manage the disease better, ways that we can improve the quality of life for patients and hopefully improve life itself, improve longevity. If there are multiple treatment options or multiple medications that we could try, I usually like to involve the patient in that decision so that we can come to a mutual decision based on what we know on the medical side but also what we know about the patient's personal life and their life situation in general so that we can find a treatment option that suits them, that's going to offer the best results but also is going to fit with what they are trying to accomplish in their life on a daily basis.
