Diabetes / Endocrinology

The endocrine system regulates the body’s hormones, and endocrinology is the branch of medicine that specializes in its function. Hormonal imbalances are major contributors to diseases such as thyroid and pituitary conditions, as well as health issues related to appetite and obesity.

Diabetes affects how the body processes food into energy. It occurs when there is insufficient insulin or when the body cannot use insulin properly, leading to high blood sugar levels. Because diabetes is a long-term condition, effective management is essential to prevent serious health complications.

At Medcy Hospitals, our skilled team of endocrinologists helps you maintain your endocrine health by creating personalized treatment plans, recommending lifestyle changes, and providing comprehensive care.

Types of Endocrinology Services at Medcy Hospitals

Maintaining optimal endocrine health requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes a healthcare team, medicinal support, and lifestyle changes to facilitate a healthier quality of life. Here are the main endocrine healthcare services you can find at Medcy Hospitals:

• Podiatry / Diabetic Foot Care: Foot care is crucial for diabetes patients due to complications that affect the feet. Our podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating foot and lower extremity disorders. They focus on preventing serious conditions, such as diabetic foot ulcers, which can lead to major surgery or amputation if left untreated.
• Endocrine Surgery: This procedure is used to treat disorders of the endocrine system and its glands. Surgery may be necessary to remove part or all of a gland to regulate hormone release when it is overproducing or underproducing hormones.
• Metabolic Surgery: This surgical option is available for patients with Type 2 diabetes, especially those who are also obese and have not achieved significant weight loss through diet or exercise. The surgery helps manage diabetes by altering how the body processes food, often leading to improved metabolic function and blood sugar control. It is performed in consultation with a specialist.
• Paediatric Endocrinology: This subspecialty addresses endocrine disorders in children and adolescents, including diabetes, thyroid issues, and growth and puberty disorders. A paediatric endocrinologist ensures that each gland functions optimally to support a child’s healthy growth and development.
