Endocrinology & Diabetology Overview

The endocrine system is a network of glands that secrete chemicals called hormones to help the body function properly. Hormones are substances that control activities in the body. There are different hormones that control reproduction, metabolism (chemical processes in the body that maintain life and normal functioning), growth, and development. Diabetic treatment majorly controls the metabolism and blood sugar level. Our Diabetes Hospital in Coimbatore is equipped with the leading diabetic and sugar doctors to diagnose and provide the best diabetic treatment.

The Diabetology department in our multispeciality hospital has advanced technologies and a laboratory that helps our doctors to provide you with the medication that helps you in stabilizing your sugar level. Organs that make up the endocrine system include the pancreas, thyroid, parathyroid, ovaries, testes, adrenals, pituitary, etc.
