Diabetes and Endocrinology

Navigating an endocrine condition can be frustrating, particularly when you’re trying to manage symptoms alongside your daily life. You don’t have to do this alone — or wait to get help.  

Our leading specialty consultants offer the rapid, private care you need. We treat all types of conditions related to your hormones and glands, including:

• Adrenal disorders
• Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes
• Diabetes-related cardiovascular disease and high cholesterol (hyperlipidaemia)
• Foot conditions related to diabetes
• Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism
• Sex hormone disorders, including male menopause and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Pituitary conditions
• Having obesity

What To Expect at Your Initial Evaluation

During your first visit, your endocrinologist will take time to get to know you and understand the symptoms you’re experiencing. You’ll review your medical history and will also have a physical examination.

Pre-treatment testing

Your consultant may order tests to help confirm your diagnosis, allow our team to learn even more about your condition and determine if you are able to move ahead with treatment. During testing, we’ll check your:

• Heart
• Kidneys
• Blood-glucose levels

If we suspect a tumour or other abnormal growth is affecting your glands, we’ll do tests to check for conditions like thyroid cancer. Early detection can help deliver the best possible treatment results. You may have:

• High-tech imaging like CT and PET scans or MRI
• Fine needle aspiration

Our team personalises your treatment plan to your specific diagnosis and needs.

Surgery and recovery care

If we discover a growth or tumour is triggering your endocrine problems, we may recommend endocrine surgery. Beforehand, we’ll make certain you have all the necessary testing to access your heart and kidneys and check your blood-glucose levels. Our surgeons will be by your side to answer any questions you have about your procedure. Afterward, we’ll monitor you closely, watching for any complications and helping you transition back onto medications like insulin, if needed.   

Weight management

Some endocrine disorders contribute to having overweight or obesity. Our team is here to help by going over weight management options, including:

• Medication
• Lifestyle changes
• Nutritional counselling with a dietitian
• Bariatric surgery
