Endocrinology deals with the glands that produce hormones, and the conditions that follow when they produce too much or too little. Diabetes makes up the largest part of the workload.
Conditions we manage
- Type 1 and type 2 diabetes, including insulin adjustment
- Diabetes in pregnancy
- Diabetes complications affecting the feet, kidneys, eyes and nerves
- Overactive and underactive thyroid, goitre and thyroid nodules
- Adrenal and pituitary disorders
- Osteoporosis and calcium disorders
- Obesity, and hormone causes of weight change

Most of what determines long-term outcome happens between appointments — food, activity, medication and foot care. Bring your home glucose readings to every review; they are more useful than a single reading taken in clinic.
