Track: Endocrine Gland and Disorders

Endocrine Gland and Disorders

Session Overview: The pancreas, the most critical gland for diabetes, produces insulin and glucagon, hormones crucial for blood glucose homeostasis. The session will delve into the mechanisms of insulin resistance in Type 2 diabetes and insulin deficiency in Type 1 diabetes, with a focus on emerging therapies aimed at restoring pancreatic function. 

We will also explore how conditions like Cushing’s syndrome (adrenal gland disorder) and hypothyroidism (thyroid disorder) can complicate diabetes management by influencing insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.

Additionally, endocrine disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), growth hormone imbalances, and hypopituitarism will be discussed in relation to their impact on diabetes risk and progression. Experts will highlight the importance of an integrated approach to diagnosing and treating endocrine dysfunctions in diabetic patients, as well as innovative treatments and ongoing research in the field.

Join us to delve into the intricate relationships between endocrine health and diabetes and gain valuable insights to optimize patient care and treatment outcomes. If you're interested in contributing to this session, you are invited to submit abstract and share your expertise.
