I have an appointment at the local hospitals Endocrinology department on Friday. Not really sure what to expect, I thought I was seeing a diet specialist? Never seen anyone other than the nurse for my diabetes.

An endocrinologist specialises in the endocrine system - so your hormones basically and how they are functioning - they treat everything from diabetes to fertility issues ( and my mate who is transitioning from a man to a lady sees them for her hormone medication)
