DTC Allergy Care Clinics® are a primary care and multispecialty providers should consider the fact that undetected allergies cause undetected chronic inflammation. This exacerbates metabolic disorders, chronic pain, and even depression. Recent studies are demonstrating that mood disorders could be due to brain inflammation. Type 2 Diabetics and prediabetics may be at the greatest risk of these conditions, as they may already be dealing with metabolic disorders and chronic inflammation.
Undetected allergies can lead to chronic inflammation, exacerbating metabolic disorders, chronic pain, and depression. Chronic inflammation is associated with various symptoms, including body pain, fatigue, and mood disorders. Emerging research indicates that neuroinflammation may contribute to mood disorders and mental health challenges.

Airborne Allergies: The Year-Round Trigger That’s Often Overlooked
Airborne allergies pose a persistent challenge for patients—not just during spring or fall, but every day of the year. While seasonal allergies like tree or grass pollen receive attention at predictable times, perennial airborne allergens such as dust mites, mold spores, pet dander, and indoor particulates can trigger chronic symptoms that go undiagnosed or misattributed. For many patients, this ongoing exposure results in:
Congestion, sneezing, and post-nasal drip
Chronic fatigue and poor sleep
Persistent headaches or sinus pressure
Exacerbation of asthma or COPD
Heightened inflammation, which can impact metabolic health and mood
Recognizing the non-seasonal nature of airborne allergens is critical to delivering comprehensive and personalized care. Chronic allergic inflammation can not only reduce day-to-day comfort—it may also worsen underlying conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, and even depression, according to recent clinical studies. By incorporating targeted allergy screening into routine wellness visits or chronic care management:
Providers gain a clearer picture of root causes
Patients receive more accurate diagnoses and faster relief
Clinics can improve outcomes while accessing reimbursable CPT codes for testing and follow-up
When patients experience “mystery symptoms” that linger or flare up unpredictably, consider whether airborne allergens might be at the root. Early identification and personalized treatment can make a dramatic difference—improving respiratory health, reducing inflammation, and supporting mental well-being.
Airborne allergies don’t take seasons off. Neither should our approach to identifying and managing them.
Allergic Rhinitis is Considered a Rising Epidemic with 1 in 5 Americans Seeking Medical Relief
The prevalence of airborne allergies extends throughout the year, emphasizing the ongoing need for the immunotherapy of allergic reactions.
Allergy testing and immunology therapy in primary care or multispecialty clinics can potentially address a wide range of medical conditions, including:
1. Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever): An allergic reaction to airborne allergens, causing symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
2. Asthma: A chronic respiratory condition characterized by airway inflammation and bronchoconstriction, often triggered by allergens.
3. Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): A chronic skin condition associated with allergies, causing red, itchy, and inflamed skin.
4. Allergic Conjunctivitis: Inflammation of the conjunctiva in the eyes due to exposure to allergens.
5. Anaphylaxis: A severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that requires immediate medical attention.
6. Drug Allergies: Hypersensitivity reactions to certain medications or drugs.
7. Insect Sting Allergies: Allergic reactions to insect stings, such as from bees, wasps, or ants.
8. Urticaria (Hives) and Angioedema: Skin conditions characterized by itchy welts or swelling caused by allergic reactions.
9. Immunodeficiencies: Conditions in which the immune system is weakened, making individuals more susceptible to infections.
10. Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, leading to various diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, etc.
11. Immunotherapy: Treatment such as allergy shots to desensitize the immune system to specific allergens.
Allergies and immunology specialists, known as allergists or immunologists, are trained to diagnose and manage these conditions through comprehensive evaluations, allergy testing, immunotherapy, and personalized treatment plans. They play a crucial role in improving the quality of life for patients with various allergic and immune-related disorders.

Allergies, COVID-19, and the Flu pose unique concerns for people with diabetes. While allergies may or may not directly affect blood glucose, the medications used to treat allergies can impact blood sugar levels. Most medications, whether over-the-counter or prescribed, have the potential to influence blood sugar, with side effects such as drowsiness, hyperactivity, nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness further complicating matters. Managing diabetes can affect the body's immune system, making it challenging to maintain good habits even when blood sugar levels are stable.
Allergies in older adults can present diverse symptoms, potentially leading to misdiagnosis, highlighting the importance of identifying specific allergens for effective treatment.
Pain clinics can play a crucial role in addressing the long-term consequences of undetected allergies, linking them to chronic inflammation, metabolic disorders, chronic pain, and mood disorders. Individuals with allergies face a higher risk of autoimmune disorders, emphasizing the need for prompt medical attention. Managing allergies is particularly crucial for individuals with metabolic conditions, as it can exacerbate inflammation throughout the body. Prioritizing both physical and mental well-being is essential for those dealing with allergies, as recent studies suggest a correlation between mood disorders and brain inflammation.
Respiratory patients benefit from allergy testing to identify triggers and develop effective treatment plans. In dermatology, allergy testing is indispensable for identifying the root causes of skin conditions and aiding in diagnosing and treating various dermatological issues like eczema and psoriasis. Allergy testing should be an integral part of dermatological evaluation for significantly improved quality of life.
