About Pediatric Endocrinology
Paediatric endocrinology cares for children with hormone and growth problems. Parents should seek advice if a child grows very slowly, starts puberty unusually early or late, or has excessive thirst and urination.
Type 1 diabetes in children is managed with insulin, monitoring and education for the whole family.
