What Is Diabetology & Endocrinology?
Diabetology and endocrinology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting hormones, metabolism and diabetes.
Hormones control many essential functions within the body, including metabolism, growth, fertility, energy levels, blood sugar regulation, weight and mood. When hormone levels become unbalanced, they can cause a wide range of symptoms that often require specialist investigation.
Our consultants diagnose and manage both common and complex endocrine conditions, helping patients understand the cause of their symptoms and receive the most appropriate treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions.
What does an endocrinologist do?
An endocrinologist is a doctor who diagnoses and treats conditions affecting hormones and the glands that produce them. This includes thyroid disorders, diabetes, adrenal disease, pituitary conditions, osteoporosis and hormonal imbalances.
What is a diabetologist?
A diabetologist is a doctor with specialist expertise in diagnosing and managing diabetes, including Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes and complex diabetes management.
What's the difference between a diabetologist and an endocrinologist?
Diabetology focuses specifically on diabetes and blood sugar management. Endocrinology covers all hormone-related conditions, including diabetes, thyroid disease, adrenal disorders, pituitary conditions and reproductive hormone disorders. Many consultants specialise in both areas.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly with our private consultants without an NHS referral.
Can I get a second opinion?
Yes. Many patients choose to see our specialists for a second opinion regarding diagnosis, treatment options or ongoing management.
Can an endocrinologist diagnose thyroid problems?
Yes. Our consultants diagnose and treat both underactive and overactive thyroid conditions, thyroid nodules, autoimmune thyroid disease and other hormone-related disorders.
Can you help with PMOS (PCOS)?
Yes. We assess and manage Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), (previously called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - PCOS), including hormone assessment, diagnosis and ongoing treatment recommendations.
Can I have blood tests during my appointment?

How long is the consultation?
Initial consultations typically allow sufficient time to discuss your symptoms, medical history, previous investigations and treatment options in detail.
Do you treat both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?
Yes. Our consultants provide specialist care for patients with Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes and gestational diabetes.
Will my consultant write to my GP?

What symptoms might indicate a hormone imbalance?
Hormonal conditions can cause symptoms such as fatigue, unexplained weight changes, hair loss, low libido, irregular periods, mood changes, excessive thirst, changes in blood sugar, heat or cold intolerance and persistent tiredness.
