Diabetes and thyroid disorders are among the most common long-term conditions in India. This guide explains what an endocrinologist treats, when you need one versus a physician, where to find endocrine care in Patna, and diabetes care at Satyadev Hospital.

An endocrinologist (DM or DNB Endocrinology) treats hormone disorders: diabetes, thyroid problems, PCOD-related hormone issues, obesity, osteoporosis and pituitary or adrenal disease. Most type 2 diabetes and common thyroid problems are well managed by a physician; an endocrinologist is needed for difficult-to-control diabetes, type 1 diabetes, thyroid nodules or complex hormone problems. In Patna, endocrinology services are available at AIIMS Patna, IGIMS and private clinics. Satyadev Multi Super Speciality Hospital provides diabetes treatment, diabetic foot care and physician care.
