Endocrinology is the science of glands and
hormones. Why do people with diabetes see an endocrinologist? Because diabetes
is one of the diseases that affects the endocrine system. The pancreas is a
gland that produces a hormone called insulin. In type 1 diabetes, the insulin
producing cells in the pancreas are destroyed. In type 2 diabetes, insulin is
still produced but the body becomes resistant to it.
What an endocrinologist can do? An
endocrinologist specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the
endocrine system. This can be a complicated specialty. There are many glands
and hormones in the body, each with its own job to do. It is a delicate
chemical balance and keeps our bodies running smoothly with very little effort
on our part. When the balance is upset, serious diseases and conditions can
develop.
Endocrinologists can help you manage your
diabetes, by prescribing insulin’s and/or medications, offering diet plans and
helping you to keep a close watch on your blood glucose levels. Because they
are specialists in the field of diabetes, they are usually up on all the newest
medications and treatments.
