Postgraduate Diploma in Pancreatic Endocrinology

Pancreas endocrinology is the branch of endocrinology that deals with the study of hormones produced by the pancreas and their impact on human health. Speaking specifically of the pancreas, this organ is responsible for the production of two main hormones; insulin and glucagon.

Insulin is a hormone that is produced in the beta cells of the pancreas and is responsible for regulating blood glucose. When blood glucose levels rise, insulin is released into the blood so that glucose can be transported into the body's cells and used as a source of energy. On the other hand, glucagon is a hormone that is produced in the alpha cells of the pancreas, and its function is to increase blood glucose levels when they reach low levels.

Pancreatic endocrinology, therefore, focuses on the evaluation and treatment of disorders related to the production of these hormones. Some of the most common diseases that affect insulin and glucagon production include type 1 and type 2 diabetes, insulinoma syndrome (tumor in the pancreas that overproduces insulin), and congenital adrenal hyperplasia (condition in which the adrenal glands and pancreas overproduce hormones).

Treatment of endocrine-related disorders of the pancreas can vary widely, but includes drug therapy, diet, exercise, and in some cases, surgery. In the case of type 1 diabetes, insulin administration by injections or insulin pumps may also be necessary.

Pancreatic endocrinology focuses on the study and treatment of hormonal disorders that affect the production of insulin and glucagon in the human body. Treatments may include drug therapy, diet, exercise and in some cases, surgery.
