Pediatric Endocrinology

Pediatric endocrinology is a specialized field focused on addressing the unique hormonal concerns that affect children, encompassing issues related to growth, puberty, diabetes, and other conditions associated with hormonal fluctuations. The intricate web of hormones in a child's body plays a pivotal role in orchestrating the functioning of various biological systems. These hormones govern the pace of a child's growth and maturation as they journey through childhood. Deviations within the endocrine system can lead to an array of conditions, including growth disorders, osteoporosis, bone maladies, rickets, childhood obesity, and lipid disorders.

At Rainbow Children’s Hospital, our dedicated Pediatric Endocrinology department is committed to early detection, precise diagnosis, and the treatment of hormonal disorders in children, with a keen focus on averting long-term complications.

Within this department, we provide two specialized branches of service, overseen by our child endocrinologists, ensuring top-tier care for your child:

Diabetes Services:

  • Education and support for children with Type 1 diabetes

  • Management of hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

  • Guidance on maintaining a balanced diet devoid of excessive sugar

Endocrine Services:

  • Conducting complex stimulation tests essential for accurate diagnoses

  • Offering full-time Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) services

  • Providing full-time Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) services

  • Performing Genitoplasty Surgery

  • Staffing a Senior Geneticist

  • Employing full-time and experienced dietitians

Rainbow Children’s Hospital's team of endocrinologists are equipped to diagnose and treat a broad spectrum of hormonal disturbances in children, including:

  • Pediatric diabetes

  • Pubertal disorders (e.g., polycystic ovarian syndrome, menstrual irregularities, early or delayed sexual development)

  • Growth disorders (short or tall stature)

  • Adrenal gland disorders

  • Obesity and other metabolic complications

  • Thyroid disorders

  • Bone disorders (such as rickets and osteoporosis)

  • Disorders of sexual development (e.g., micropenis, ambiguous genitalia)

  • Neuroendocrine disorders

  • Neonatal disorders (diabetes, hypoglycemia, congenital adrenal hyperplasia)

  • Endocrine complications of systemic illnesses (e.g., children with cancer, cystic fibrosis, chronic renal disease, thalassemia, etc.)

  • Rare endocrine disorders like McCune Albright and Prader Willi syndrome, Turner's syndrome

Our comprehensive care programs encompass a multidisciplinary approach, where our team of pediatric endocrinologists collaborates with nurses, psychologists, and other specialists to address various conditions, including pediatric diabetes, childhood obesity, growth hormone deficiency, and disorders of sexual development.

How did my child get Type 1 diabetes if no one in our family has it?
The exact cause of Type 1 diabetes is still unknown. Some researchers believe that it is the result of a complicated interaction between the genes, the immune system, and the environment. And yes, the risk of getting type 1 diabetes increases if there is a family history of the disease. But in most cases of type 1 diabetes, no one in the patient’s family had diabetes. Also, the rate of type 1 diabetes in youth is increasing with 3 percent annually. It is also important to remember that type 1 diabetes is not caused by anything your other family member might have done or by eating foods with high sugar content. :12929, 3,, 15 Merriweather The exact cause of Type 1 diabetes is still unknown.

My child has type 1 diabetes. Can they eat any food they want?
Technically, no one, diabetes or no diabetes, should eat whatever they want. One should stick to eating healthy foods and not overeat. However, for children with type 1 diabetes, parents have to put up some restrictions. Make sure that it isn’t too restrictive so that you don’t end up creating an undesirable environment for your child. The foods that you can give your child should have complex carbohydrates like:\n\n Whole wheat\n Brown rice\n Fruits\n Vegetables\n Lentils\n Beans\n Oatmeal\n Quinoa\n\nThere are certain foods that you should avoid giving your child like:\n\n Diet (regular and diet)\n High-fat and trans fat animal products (anything that has hydrogenated on the label)\n Simple carbohydrates (refined/processed sugars like in white bread, pasta, pastries, cookies, and chips)\n\nBut this doesn’t mean that your child can have a chocolate cake on some special occasions. Putting too many restrictions will only lead to them sneaking food. This will result in an unexpected high blood sugar level.
