Decoding Endocrine Disorders: Innovations in Research and Therapy
The Endocrine Glands and
Disorders theme at Diabetes 2025 will explore the vital role of the endocrine
system in metabolic regulation and its connection to diabetes. Endocrine
glands, including the pancreas, thyroid, adrenal glands, and pituitary gland, secrete
hormones that control essential processes like metabolism, growth and stress
response. Dysfunction in any of these glands can lead to disorders that impact
glucose regulation, making them key contributors to diabetes development and
management.
Types of Diabetes: Understanding the Diversity and
Mechanisms
Diabetes refers to a group of diseases that affect how the body processes blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is essential for energy and insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate its levels in the blood. When insulin is insufficient or the body cannot use it properly, blood sugar levels rise, leading to diabetes.
There are several types of diabetes, each with its own causes, symptoms and management strategies:
- Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)
- Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)
- Gestational Diabetes
- Monogenic Diabetes
- Type 3c Diabetes
- Cystic Fibrosis-Related Diabetes (CFRD)
- Steroid-Induced Diabetes

Anterior pituitary dysfunction causes either due to hyper secretion or hypo secretion of pituitary hormones. Brain control of the synthesis and secretion of pituitary AdrenoCorticoTrophic Hormone (ACTH) is mediated by neurohormones released from the hypothalamus at the bottom of the brain and transported by the hypophysial portal vessels to the anterior pituitary gland. The brain-pituitary neuroendocrine system processes information from and enables endocrine responses to external factors, like stress, day length and changes in ambient temperature.

Diabetic retinopathy is caused by damage to the blood vessels within the tissue at the rear of the attention (retina). Poorly controlled blood glucose may be a risk factor. Early symptoms are blurriness, floaters, dark areas of vision and difficulty perceiving colours. Blindness can occur. Mild cases could also be treated with careful diabetes management. Advanced cases may require laser treatment or surgery.
• Early diabetic retinopathy
• Advanced diabetic retinopathy
Treatment for diabetes requires keeping close watch your blood glucose levels (and keeping them at a goal set by your doctor) with a mixture of medicines, exercise, and diet. Some people with diabetes use a computerized pump called an insulin pump that provides insulin on a group basis. Some pills contain quite one sort of diabetes medication.
Vitamins B6 and B12 may help treat diabetic nerve pain if the patient got low levels of those vitamins which is contributing to the nerve pain. But otherwise, there's no clinical proof that taking these vitamins will help.

As the prevalence of both diabetes and liver disease rises globally, understanding their intersection is crucial for effective diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies.
Monogenic diabetes is a rare condition performing from mutations ( changes) in a single gene. In discrepancy, the most common types of diabetes type 1 and type 2 are caused by multiple genes. In most cases, the monogenic diabetes are inherited. Diabetes mellitus is a miscellaneous group of diseases characterized by patient with hyperglycemia.
Inheritable testing can identify these mutations in certain cases, but the utility of the information they give varies. First, it depends on whether the form of diabetes is monogenic or polygenic.
Both type 1 and type 2 are caused by a combination of inheritable and environmental risk factors. The inheritable mutations that beget diabetes involve the proteins responsible for insulin product or the capability of the body to use insulin, according to the NIDDK. Mutations beget the proteins to serve inaptly.

Stem cell treatment for diabetes involves using these undifferentiated cells to repair or replace damaged pancreatic beta cells, which are responsible for producing insulin. In type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune response destroys these cells, leading to a lack of insulin and uncontrolled blood sugar levels. Research into stem cell therapy aims to restore insulin production, potentially offering a cure or significantly improving disease management. While still in experimental stages, several clinical trials have shown promise with some patients experiencing periods of reduced insulin dependency. However, challenges such as ensuring long-term survival of the transplanted cells and preventing immune rejection remain. If these can be overcome, stem cell therapy could revolutionize diabetes treatment.
