Endocrinology & Diabetes
Department of Endocrinology and Diabetes
Endocrinology is a specialty of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to hormones. Therefore, Endocrinology focuses on the endocrine glands that secrete hormones.
Endocrine diseases are classified into three broad groups:
State of the Art Services:
Our areas of specialization include:
- Endocrine gland hyposecretion, a condition in which the gland is not producing enough hormone leading to hormone deficiency.
- Endocrine gland hypersecretion, a condition in which the gland is overactive and produces excessive hormone leading to surplus levels of certain hormones.
- Tumours of endocrine glands can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous)
Hormonal imbalances can lead to conditions like Diabetes, Metabolic Disorders of Growth and Puberty, Osteoporosis, Thyroid diseases like Hyperthyroidism or Hypothyroidism, Difficult to Treat Hypertension, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), Hirsutism, Menopause, Hyperlipidaemia, Hypoglycaemia amongst many others.
Endocrinologists are specially trained physicians who diagnose and treat diseases related to the glands with an aim to restore the normal balance of hormones found in a patient’s body, thus treating the signs and symptoms.
Diabetes Management

The patient is supervised by our trained physicians and guided to intensive insulin therapy depending upon the stage of diabetes.
Type I Diabetes
- Patients do not produce insulin which naturally results in elevated blood sugar levels.
- Treatments offered include insulin, dietary changes and exercise.
Type II Diabetes
- Patients stop responding to insulin prepared by their body.
- Treatments offered include non-insulin medication, insulin and weight management.
Osteoporosis and Bone Metabolism
While many people think that bone-related problems are a result of an underlying degenerative disease or an injury, it is very important to know that there is a very deep connection between bone metabolism and our hormones (including parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, estrogen, and testosterone). Metabolic abnormalities in the bones can disrupt the balance of minerals in the bones and lead to severe bone disorders which include the following:
- Osteoporosis
- Hyperparathyroidism
- Paget’s disease of the bone
- Genetic conditions such as XLH and osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)
