Diabetes & endocrinology

The endocrine system controls the level of certain hormones that your body releases. Even small changes in these hormone levels can affect you in a big way. You may experience weight gain or weakened bones. Your body’s ability to protect against diseases like diabetes can be affected. If you or someone you love has symptoms of an endocrine disorder, we can help.

Athletes with diabetes

Athletes are not immune to diabetes. Anyone can be affected by diabetes, even if you have an active and healthy lifestyle. Athletes may face additional challenges, including monitoring their diet and physical activity more closely to avoid hypoglycemia episodes (low blood sugar).

Type 1 diabetic athletes

Developing early in life due to genetics or environmental factors, Type 1 diabetes causes the body to stop producing insulin. Type 1 diabetes – which requires daily insulin injections and blood sugar level monitoring – can be difficult for anyone to manage.

Type 2 diabetic athletes

Athletes have a lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, since it's often the result of poor lifestyle choices, such as inactivity. Type 2 diabetes can be managed through diet, an active lifestyle and blood sugar monitoring.
