Diabetes and Endocrinology


Diabetes is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period mainly due to insulin deficiency or resistance. Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination, increased thirst, increased hunger, and weight loss. If left untreated, diabetes can cause many complications. Acute complications can comprise diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, or death. Serious long-term complications consist of cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, chronic kidney disease, foot ulcers, and damage to the eyes.



Endocrinology is the branch of biology that deals with the study of the endocrine system, hormones, and its disorders. It also involves the study of growth and development, metabolism, digestion, tissue function and various other behavioral factors which are influenced by hormones.
