Pediatric Endocrinology
Pediatric endocrinology focuses on the diagnosis and management of endocrine disorders in children, including diabetes, growth disorders, thyroid disorders, and disorders of puberty and sexual development. Childhood diabetes, both type 1 and type 2, requires specialized care to ensure optimal growth, development, and long-term health. Growth disorders, such as short stature or tall stature, may indicate underlying endocrine problems that require careful evaluation and treatment. Thyroid disorders in children can affect growth, metabolism, and cognitive development if left untreated. Disorders of puberty and sexual development may include early or delayed puberty, precocious puberty, or disorders of sexual differentiation. At the Diabetes 2024 summit, experts in pediatric endocrinology will discuss the latest research and best practices for diagnosing and managing endocrine disorders in children, with a focus on improving outcomes and quality of life.
