Diabetes Congress 2025

Types of Endocrine Disorders: Endocrine disorders include hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, Cushing's syndrome, and hormonal imbalances affecting metabolism and growth.

The Role of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis: This axis regulates hormone secretion from endocrine glands, maintaining homeostasis in growth, metabolism, and stress responses.

Diagnostic Approaches in Endocrine Diseases: Diagnosis involves hormone level testing, imaging (MRI, CT), and stimulation/suppression tests to identify gland dysfunction.

Common Endocrine Disorders in Women’s Health: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and menopause-related hormonal changes are prevalent endocrine issues in women.

The Intersection of Diabetes and Endocrine Disorders: Diabetes often coexists with thyroid dysfunction, adrenal disorders, and PCOS, complicating diagnosis, treatment, and overall metabolic health.
