Endocrinology and Diabetes

Endocrinology involves the study of the endocrine system. The endocrine system is comprised of organs and glands such as the thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands as well as testes, ovaries, and pancreas. They secrete vital hormones into the bloodstream which are required for critical metabolic and other bodily activities. Endocrinopathy covers the study of diseases related to the endocrine system, which are often referred to as hormonal imbalances, though both the causes are much more complex.
Poor diet, stress, smoking, polluted environment, and the general negligence of health stress the endocrine glands, causing a host of medical complications along with diabetes which leads to a further decline in health.
