Diabetes, thyroid, endocrine and metabolic medicine specialists in Cardiff & Reading. Diagnosis and disease management that affect the glands and hormones to restore hormonal balance within the body’s systems.
Our endocrinologist have a very large experience in the management of all endocrine diseases from thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and pituitary diseases to diabetes. They also have considerable expertise in the diagnosis and management of chronic fatigue syndrome and its endocrine interactions.
The diseases that are most often diagnosed and treated by an endocrinologist / diabetologist are primarily:

Usually referred to as ‘diabetes’, this is a condition caused by problems regulating blood sugar levels. It can occur either because the pancreas produces too little insulin (the hormone that tightly regulates sugar levels in the blood), or because the body does not respond appropriately to the insulin that is produced. This results in erratic blood sugar levels, which can be dangerous if they become very high or very low.
Your thyroid produces thyroid hormone, which controls many activities in your body, including how fast you burn calories and how fast your heart beats. Diseases of the thyroid cause it to make either too much or too little of the hormone. Depending on how much or how little hormone your thyroid makes, you may often feel restless or tired, or you may lose or gain weight. Women are more likely than men to have thyroid diseases, especially right after pregnancy and after menopause.
Parathyroid disease affects the four small parathyroid glands in the neck that help maintain the correct level of calcium within the body.
Your doctor may diagnose parathyroid disease using blood tests. Imaging tests such as ultrasound, bone densitometry, body CT and/or body MRI may be used to assess any complications from the disease. Treatment options include surgery, medication, dietary supplements and monitoring.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that affects how your ovaries work. Despite the name, there are no cysts on the ovaries. During ovulation, an egg is released once a month. PCOS can have an impact on this and cause irregular ovulation, or no ovulation at all. If you want to have a family, PCOS can make it difficult to get pregnant.
PCOS can also affect your metabolism (the chemical reactions in the body’s cells that change food into energy) making it easier to gain weight and more difficult to lose weight.
