Dr. Noman Saif is an adult endocrinology specialist in Winnsboro, LA.

"Previous to Dr. Saif, I (Russell Shipp of Pilesgrove, NJ) had been under the care of 3 other doctors for diabetes. I've been insulin dependent for several years. During that time, my blood sugars were consistently too high. My previous 3 doctors responded to my climbing sugar levels with increases in my insulin dosage. However, the increased insulin brought no resulting improvements in my blood sugar levels. On my First visit to Dr. Noman Saif, he pointed out that I was prescribed way too much insulin by my other doctors and that it would never get better from excessive insulin use. He pointed out that there is a complex relationship between the insulin receptors in the body and the amount of insulin present in the blood. As a result, he cut my usage of insulin dramatically. He put me on small nightly doses of long-acting Lantus insulin with small doses of short-acting Novalog insulin before each meal. I was concerned that cutting my insulin usage would greatly increase my sugar levels. However, I have miracously had normal blood sugar levels ever since. "

What is Internal Medicine (Adult Medicine)?

Internal medicine doctors, also referred to as internists, are primary care physicians who treat diseases in adults. They are qualified to treat a wide range of conditions affecting the organs, such as the kidneys, liver, heart, and lungs. Internists can provide both inpatient and outpatient care. Some internists see patients in rehabilitation centers, long-term care facilities, and other medical settings while some other internists referred to as "hospitalists" operate in hospitals, where they may monitor and evaluate patients' conditions.

Internal medicine includes preventive care, such as blood pressure and cholesterol screenings. Internists may treat a patient over a duration of years, which can be beneficial for patients with chronic conditions or recurring disorders. After diagnosing a condition, internists assess if they may treat the patient themselves, or if the condition warrants a referral to a specialist. With additional training, it is also possible for internists to specialize in a more focused area of internal medicine. Internists do not typically perform surgery. Internists can collaborate with many other specialist physicians, including oncologists, neurologists, and cardiologists.
