Diabetes, endocrinology and metabolism

Your endocrine glands regulate your body by sending hormones directly into the blood and other fluids. This affects metabolism, the use of energy and other chemical processes your body needs to function. When either aspect isn't working properly, diseases like diabetes can result.

Our specialists concentrate on identifying and managing...

• endocrine gland disorders, such as hypothyroidism
• type 1 and type 2 diabetes
• metabolic disorders like Wilson's disease (too much copper in the body)
• nutritional disorders like iron deficiency anemia
• problems with the pituitary gland, which controls how the body grows
• menstrual and sexual problems
