Diabetes and Endocrinology

Diabetes is a disease that occurs when our blood glucose is too high. Blood glucose is our main source of energy that comes from the food we eat. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food to get into our cells to be used for energy. Sometimes our body doesn’t make insulin well. Glucose then stays in our blood and doesn’t reach to our cells. Endocrinology is the study of medicine that transmits to our endocrine system, which is the system that controls hormones. Endocrinologists are specially trained physicians who identify diseases related to the glands. Because these doctors specialize in these circumstances, which can be complex and have hard-to-spot symptoms, an endocrinologist is our best believer when we are dealing with hormonal issues. The endocrinologist's goal is to restore hormonal balance in our body.
