Endocrinology and Diabetes
Hormones and Metabolic Health
Endocrinology is the branch of medicine that studies hormone-producing glands and the impact of these hormones on metabolism. Hormones act as chemical messengers that regulate vital functions such as growth, energy balance, reproduction, and immunity.
Diabetes in the Field of Endocrinology
Among endocrine disorders, diabetes is one of the most common conditions worldwide. It develops when the body fails to produce insulin or cannot use it effectively.
-
Type 1 Diabetes: Caused by the pancreas failing to produce insulin.
-
Type 2 Diabetes: Due to insulin resistance and inadequate insulin secretion.
-
Gestational Diabetes: Occurs during pregnancy.
Diagnosis and Follow-up
Endocrinologists diagnose and monitor diabetes through laboratory testing and advanced monitoring devices. Regular blood glucose checks, insulin therapy, and oral medications form the basis of treatment. Diabetes nurses play a vital role, offering personalized training on insulin use, insulin pump management, and continuous glucose monitoring.
