Endocrinology is a medical speciality that deals with various hormonal disorders and their abnormalities in the body. Diabetology is another branch that focuses only on metabolic disorder- Diabetes (a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism which is characterized by high blood glucose levels).

• At the Department of Diabetes and Endocrinology at BM Birla Heart Hospital, the best team of endocrinologists (some of which focus only on diabetes) and doctors who specialize in glands and hormones provides excellent treatment to the patient of all ages from kids to older adults. The aim is to achieve excellence in managing routine problems like diabetes. 
• The department offers the best treatment and support to people suffering from type 1 and types 2 diabetes, nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy, gestational diabetes, metabolic disorders, cystic fibrosis, endocrine disorders, obesity, neuroendocrinology, energy balance and development, body metabolism, and endocrine tissues problems.
• Our department has extensive experience in providing treatment for hormonal disorders like PCOS, menstrual irregularities, hirsutism, growth problems, and delayed puberty. The challenging endocrinology issues such as tumors or malignancy of pituitary, thyroid, gonad, parathyroid, or other glands, and best treatment and care is provided by experienced surgeons and other specialists with a multidisciplinary approach to deliver safe and desirable outcomes.

  In a set-up like ours, we offer leading-edge technologies in diabetes management; offer insulin pumps; and continuous glucose sensor options.

 Best team of clinicians, physicians, diabetes educators, nurses, registered dietitians with expertise in care for type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes, and other endocrine disorders.

 A dedicated team is available 24x7 that ensures that the patients receive the best care possible.

Specialists who are involved in the latest diabetes and endocrinology research.

Provide patients with more accurate diagnoses and advanced treatment options. We have designed some user-friendly packages for evaluating individuals thoroughly for hormonal and metabolic disorders.

Major concerns and their treatment provided at the hospital includes:

•  Diabetes and Hypoglycemia: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder wherein insulin (responsible for the conversion of glucose into energy) secretion is hampered. This results in high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). In hypoglycemia, the blood sugar level is low which can be caused by diabetes treatment or other health conditions.
• Insulin pump therapy is usually given to people suffering from diabetes: Type 1, Type 2, or gestational diabetes. It is a small electronic device that mimics the way the pancreas secretes insulin normally in the body.
•  Congenital syndromes caused by diabetes: Neonatal diabetes mellitus (a rare condition) that leads to hyperglycemia and congenital malformations and Congenital Hyperinsulinism is provided best care by the department.
• Adrenal gland disorders: It includes the treatment for Addison’s disease (caused by insufficient cortisol and aldosterone hormone) and Cushing’s syndrome (high levels of cortisol for prolonged time). Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is performed in case of tumor growth.
• Thyroid and Parathyroid gland disorders: Fluctuation in the thyroid hormones result in hyperthyroidism (like Graves’ disease), hypothyroidism (like Hashmito’s thyroiditis), thyroid adenomas, and thyroid cancer. Parathyroid disorders are associated with abnormal calcium levels in the blood that leads to kidney stones and brittle bones.

• Pituitary gland disorders: The conditions caused by overactivity or underactivity of the pituitary gland include acromegaly (excess growth hormone production), hypopituitarism, prolactinoma, and empty Sella syndrome.   
• Medical therapies for obesity: We offer weight-loss surgeries and also prescribe drugs to help lose weight for obese individuals. The healthcare provider provides the best treatment plan based on the patient's overall health, age, physical abilities, medical history, and past efforts to lose weight. 
• Medical therapies for weight management: The department holds some programs for weight management wherein the individuals are assisted in having a balanced healthy diet (with fewer calories), guided to do regular physical activity or exercises, and prescribed weight loss medications (if needed) to help maintain their body weight.
• Diabetic Neuropathy: The nerve of the legs and feet tends to get damaged due to elevated blood sugar levels and result in the diabetic foot. It is a chronic complication of diabetes mellitus which can be taken care of by the Diabetic Footcare clinic.
• Diabetic Retinopathy: It is another diabetes complication wherein the light-sensitive part of the eye is damaged by high blood sugar levels. It is treated by anti-VEGF injections, corticosteroids, or focal macular laser surgery.
• Diabetic Nephropathy: Poorly controlled diabetes can also lead to damage of blood vessels in the kidneys.
