The doctor answered all my questions thoroughly and completely. However, she has not brought up ways for me to manage my condition except for pharmaceuticals and calcium supplements/dairy. I would expect her to have more proactive recommendations for exercise and diet, rather than waiting for me to ask a question about them.
