Diabetes and Pediatric Endocrinology

Pediatric endocrinology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of hormone-related conditions in children. This includes disorders of the thyroid, adrenal glands, growth hormones, and reproductive hormones. Common conditions treated by pediatric endocrinologists include diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2), growth disorders, precocious puberty, thyroid diseases, and adrenal disorders. Pediatric endocrinologists work closely with families to manage these conditions, providing treatments such as hormone therapy, insulin therapy, and growth-promoting medications. Early diagnosis and intervention are critical to ensure proper growth, development, and long-term health in children with endocrine disorders.
