Endocrinology and Metabolic Disorders

Endocrinology and Metabolic Disorders examines hormonal, growth and metabolic conditions across childhood—from congenital endocrine disorders and neonatal hypoglycaemia to diabetes, thyroid disease, growth disorders and inherited metabolic conditions. This session is designed for pediatric endocrinologists, metabolic specialists, general pediatricians, nurses and allied health professionals who manage endocrine diagnoses and long-term metabolic care. Presentations will cover modern diagnostic pathways (including newborn metabolic screening optimisation), updated approaches to insulin therapy and diabetes technologies for children, management of disorders of sexual development, and the latest evidence in growth hormone therapy. There will be deep-dive modules on transition readiness for adolescents with chronic endocrine conditions and on nutritional strategies to support metabolic control. Practical workshops in Pediatric Endocrinology Conference will focus on device education (insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring), telehealth models for remote glucose review, and protocols for acute endocrine emergencies such as adrenal crisis.

Key Topics Covered

Diabetes Care & Technology

  • Insulin pump initiation, CGM integration and automated insulin delivery principles
  • School-based diabetes management plans and emergency protocols

Growth & Pubertal Disorders

  • Diagnostic evaluation for short stature, growth hormone therapy decision pathways
  • Management of precocious or delayed puberty and psychosocial supports

Thyroid & Adrenal Disorders

  • Neonatal screening follow-up algorithms and congenital hypothyroidism management
  • Adrenal insufficiency recognition and emergency steroid protocols

Inborn Errors & Metabolic Management

  • Newborn metabolic screening optimisation and follow-up pathways
  • Dietary management, enzyme replacement and crisis-prevention plans

Clinical Impact & Practical Takeaways

Improved Glycaemic Control
Structured education, device training and algorithmic insulin titration reduce hypoglycaemia and improve time-in-range metrics.

Safer Emergency Response
Standardised adrenal crisis and diabetic ketoacidosis protocols shorten time-to-treatment and reduce complications.

Growth and Development Optimisation
Timely diagnosis and evidence-based use of growth modulators support physical and psychosocial outcomes.

Smooth Transitions to Adult Care
Transition toolkits and adolescent-focused clinics improve adherence and long-term metabolic outcomes.
