At Metro Hospital, a recognized leader in diabetes care, our highly experienced medical team specializes in providing personalized treatments for various types of diabetes and a diverse range of endocrine diseases. Understanding the intricate chemical balance crucial for the body’s optimal function, our approach aims at preventing life-threatening complications associated with hormonal imbalances.
The Stealthy Struggle of Diabetes:
Disrupting the body’s ability to use and store glucose, diabetes advances silently, underscoring the need for vigilance. Regular blood sugar monitoring is essential for maintaining control, requiring delicate harmony in the functioning of glands and hormones. Any disruption in this equilibrium can lead to severe and life-threatening diseases.
Endocrinology at Metro Hospital:
Our Endocrinology department delves into the nuanced workings of endocrine organs such as the thyroid, pancreas, and ovaries, pivotal in hormonal regulation. Beyond diabetes, we address various endocrine diseases, each demanding attention and tailored care.
Types of endocrine Diseases:
Thyroid Cancer:
Characterized by uncontrolled cell growth in the thyroid gland, thyroid cancer may lead to tumor formation and potential spread to other body parts. Symptoms include neck swelling, pain, breathing difficulties, and coughing.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS):
Primarily affecting women, PCOS results in hormonal imbalances, marked by enlarged ovaries with small cysts. Symptoms vary but may include irregular menstrual cycles, excessive facial hair, and male-pattern baldness.
Hyperthyroidism:
Resulting from an overactive thyroid gland, hyperthyroidism accelerates metabolism, causing symptoms like sudden weight loss, sweating, irregular heartbeat, and irritability.
Cushing’s Disease:
A serious condition arising from excessive cortisol hormone production, Cushing’s disease manifests in symptoms such as a fatty hump between shoulders, purple stretch marks, weight gain, skin thinning, and acne.
Hypothyroidism:
In contrast to hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is underactive, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, depression, and cold intolerance.
Adrenal Insufficiency (Addison’s Disease):
A rare condition where the adrenal glands don’t produce enough hormones, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, low blood pressure, and darkening of the skin.
Hyperparathyroidism:
Caused by overactivity of the parathyroid glands, this condition leads to elevated levels of calcium in the blood, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, kidney stones, and bone pain.

Endocrinology is a branch of medicine that deals with the study of hormones and their effects on bodily functions. Endocrinologists specialize in diagnosing and treating hormonal disorders, including diabetes, thyroid disorders, adrenal disorders, and more.
Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. It occurs when the body either does not produce enough insulin (a hormone that regulates blood sugar) or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.
Common symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, slow wound healing, and recurrent infections. However, some people with diabetes may not experience any symptoms, especially in the early stages of the disease.
Diabetes is typically diagnosed through blood tests that measure fasting blood sugar levels, oral glucose tolerance tests, or hemoglobin A1c tests. These tests help determine whether blood sugar levels are within normal ranges and can aid in diagnosing diabetes or prediabetes.
Risk factors for diabetes include being overweight or obese, having a family history of diabetes, leading a sedentary lifestyle, having high blood pressure or high cholesterol levels, and belonging to certain ethnic or racial groups (such as African American, Hispanic, Native American, or Asian).
Treatment for diabetes aims to control blood sugar levels and prevent complications. Depending on the type of diabetes and individual factors, treatment may include lifestyle modifications (such as diet and exercise), oral medications, insulin therapy, and monitoring blood sugar levels regularly.
While some risk factors for diabetes, such as family history and ethnicity, cannot be changed, adopting a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This includes maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
Untreated or poorly managed diabetes can lead to various complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, nerve damage (neuropathy), vision problems (retinopathy), foot problems, and skin conditions. Managing blood sugar levels and following a comprehensive diabetes care plan can help prevent or delay these complications.
Yes, diabetes can affect multiple organ systems in the body. It can damage blood vessels and nerves, leading to cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, eye problems, nerve damage, and foot complications. Managing diabetes effectively is essential to prevent or minimize the impact on other parts of the body.
The frequency of visits to an endocrinologist may vary depending on individual factors such as the type of diabetes, overall health status, and treatment plan. In general, people with diabetes should have regular check-ups with their endocrinologist at least every 3 to 6 months to monitor blood sugar levels, adjust treatment as needed, and address any concerns or complications.
