Overview

Diabetology is a branch of endocrinology, which specifically looks at the hormones produced by the endocrine gland. Diabetology focusses on the diagnosis, treatment and management of diabetes, a condition in which blood sugar levels become too high. Type 2 diabetes is highly prevalent in Dubai and the UAE.

A diabetologist is a doctor for diabetes. They help to diagnose diabetes, determine its cause and develop treatment and management plans for patients. Diabetes specialists ensure that people with diabetes control their condition so they can enjoy a good quality of life.

  • Gestational diabetes: Develops in pregnancy and affects the way your cells use glucose causing high blood sugar levels.
