Diabetology and Endocrinology team
Diabetology and endocrinology are medical specialties that focus on diagnosing and treating disorders related to the endocrine system. The endocrine system is a complex network of glands that release hormones, which regulate many important body functions.
Diabetology mainly focuses on managing diabetes, while endocrinology covers a wider range of hormonal disorders.
Diabetology:
- Diabetologists manage all types of diabetes, including type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.
- hey guide patients through lifestyle changes, diets, medications (including insulin), and regular monitoring.
- They also help prevent and manage complications like heart problems, nerve damage, eye issues, and kidney disease.
Endocrinology:
Endocrinology is a broader field that treats all hormone-related disorders.
- Endocrinologists treat issues related to the thyroid, adrenal glands, pituitary gland, reproductive hormones, and bone metabolism.
- They use lab tests and scans to check hormone levels and gland function.
- Treatments may include medication, hormone therapy, or surgery.
- Common conditions include thyroid problems, PCOS, osteoporosis, Cushing’s syndrome, and Addison’s disease.
These specialties are vital in internal medicine and help patients manage long-term metabolic and hormonal conditions effectively.
