Atlantic Health System provides expert care for a Type 1 or juvenile diabetes, Type 2 or adult-onset diabetes and gestational diabetes. Depending on the individual’s diagnosis, we can manage these symptoms through a variety of means, including education and lifestyle changes, medication and insulin pump therapy.

Endocrine Disorders

In addition to diabetes, the Adult Diabetes Education Center at Morristown provides care for endocrine disorders, which occur when the glands in the body either make too much or don’t make enough hormones. Our program's endocrinologists evaluate and treat:

• Adrenal disorders, such as Cushing’s syndrome and Addison’s disease
• Hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and other thyroid disorders
• Metabolic bone disease and calcium metabolism, such as osteoporosis
• Pituitary gland disorders
• Sex hormone disorders, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and gonadal and testosterone-related disorders

Coordinated Diabetes and Endocrinology Care 

When appropriate, we coordinate expert care with other Atlantic Health System services including the wound care, home care and the Pediatric/Adolescent Diabetes and Endocrine Center.
