Virtual Hormone and Hormone and Metabolic Care Across the Northwest Territories
TelePlus Care connects residents across the Northwest Territories with a licensed doctor who assesses and manages common hormonal, thyroid, and metabolic concerns by video. The doctor can order the relevant blood work and refer you to a specialist when advanced care is needed. This is fast access to a doctor, not a replacement for specialist metabolic medicine, which matters most for remote communities where travel to a specialist can mean a long flight south. Consider a visit if you notice any of the following:
- Fatigue, weight changes, or temperature sensitivity that may point to thyroid issues
- Increased thirst, frequent urination, or a known type 2 diabetes or prediabetes diagnosis
- Irregular periods, acne, or unwanted hair growth that may suggest PCOS
- Low energy, reduced libido, or symptoms of low testosterone
- General hormone or metabolic symptoms you want reviewed by a doctor
Conditions Our Physicians Assess Virtually
A Northwest Territories-registered doctor can assess and manage many common hormone concerns without travel to a southern specialist. The doctor orders labs, reviews results, and starts or adjusts common medications. Commonly managed concerns include hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, PCOS, low testosterone, and general hormone and metabolic symptoms. Complex cases are referred to a specialist.
Lab Work and Pharmacies Across the Territory
If blood work is needed, your doctor sends a requisition to your local hospital lab, such as Stanton Territorial Hospital in Yellowknife or your community health centre, so you can complete tests such as TSH, A1C, or a hormone panel close to home. Once results are back, the doctor reviews them with you and adjusts your plan. Any prescriptions can be filled at the pharmacy of your choice, including Shoppers Drug Mart, Sutherland's Drugs, your local Northern or co-op pharmacy, or your community health centre dispensary.
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care
Virtual care suits many ongoing hormone and metabolic concerns, but some symptoms need urgent in-person assessment at your nearest hospital emergency department, such as Stanton Territorial Hospital, your community health centre, or by calling 911.
- Signs of very high blood sugar such as confusion, deep rapid breathing, or fruity breath
- Signs of very low blood sugar such as shakiness, sweating, fainting, or seizures
- Possible thyroid storm: high fever, racing heart, agitation, or confusion
