Our population is becoming increasingly aware of the term endocrinologist because of the rising number of diabetic cases diagnosed each year in America. According to the American Diabetes Association, 7% of Americans have or will be diagnosed with this disease. Endocrinology physicians manage the care of diabetics as well as other hormonal diseases.
The formal definition of an Endocrinologist is a doctor who studies hormones, the endocrine system, and their role in the physiology of the body.
