Overview

Diabetes is a condition in which the human body stops producing or fails to properly use insulin which is a hormone that is required to convert food into energy. The three main types of diabetes – type 1, type 2 and gestational are all defined as metabolic disorders that affect the way the body uses digested food to make glucose. We are one of the best hospitals in Mumbai for the diagnosis and treatment of different forms of Diabetes.

• Adrenal Problems: The adrenal glands are small glands located on top of each kidney. With adrenal gland disorders, there is either a deficiency or excess amount of a particular hormone in the body.
• Parathyroid Disorders: Parathyroid disorders are associated with abnormal levels of calcium in the blood that can cause brittle bones, kidney stones, fatigue, and other problems.
• Adrenal Disorders: The main diseases of a hyperactive adrenal gland include: primary hyperaldosteronism (too much aldosterone), Cushing’s syndrome (too much cortisol), and pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (too much adrenaline).
• Pituitary Disorders: Pituitary disorders are conditions caused by too much or too little of one or more of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland that affect processes throughout the body. We have the best diabetes doctor in Mumbai.
• Reproductive Disorders: Reproductive disorders and infertility are associated with the risk of obstetric complications and have a negative impact on pregnancy outcome. Affected patients often require assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to conceive, and advanced maternal age is a further confounding factor. 
• Metabolic Disorders: A metabolic disorder occurs when abnormal chemical reactions in your body disrupt the metabolic process of breaking down food into energy. When this happens, your body might have an imbalanced proportion of hormones needed to stay healthy.
