Health-care professionals in the Division of Endocrinology and Diabetes participate in training medical students, pediatric residents and pediatric endocrinology fellows.

Our well-established fellowship training program is accredited by the American College of Graduate Medical Education. Health-care professionals in our division maintain up-to-date knowledge about the treatment of diabetes and endocrinological disorders through an active teaching program, ongoing board certifications, accreditations and continuing medical education activities.

We are involved in basic and clinical research focusing on insulin resistance/signaling and the treatment and prevention of overweight in the clinical setting. Opportunities are available for patients interested in participating in research studies led by the physicians with the assistance of experienced research personnel.

The care of children with Type 1 diabetes is provided by a team of professionals that includes seven board-certified pediatric diabetologists-endocrinologists, a pediatric nurse practitioner, two nurses, a registered dietician—all of whom are certified diabetes educators—and a part-time social worker.

More than 900 children with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes receive care at Women & Children’s Hospital’s Diabetes Center, a joint partnership between the UB Department of Pediatrics and the hospital.

The Diabetes Center is certified by the National Committee for Quality Assurance for Type 1 diabetes and is the only pediatric center in New York State to receive the Diabetes Center of Excellence for Type 2 Diabetes designation from the New York State Department of Health.

We are the regional referral center for the New York State newborn screening program for congenital hypothyroidism and adrenal hyperplasia. The division has a long-standing national reputation in the care of children affected by growth disorders necessitating growth hormone therapy. A holistic team approach to patient care is met by board-certified endocrinologists, nurses specializing in endocrine disorders and a psychologist with expertise in addressing issues related to endocrine disorders and diabetes.

The center is involved in screening and prevention of Type 1 diabetes via TrialNet, a federally funded grant, and in many trials that bring the latest methods in diabetes management to patients in Western New York.
