Professor Dr. A.K.M Aminul Islam

Professor Dr. A.K.M. Aminul Islam is a Diabetologist and Endocrinologist with MBBS and MD in Endocrinology. He has more than two decades of experience in the field of hormonal and metabolic medicine. He serves as an Associate Professor at Dhaka Medical College & Hospital and also works as a Consultant at Universal Medical College & Hospital Ltd. His practice covers diabetes, thyroid disorders, obesity, osteoporosis, growth hormone problems, adrenal and pituitary diseases, and other hormonal conditions. He also sees patients with pediatric and gestational diabetes. Some people find out about an endocrine problem through routine blood tests. Others come because of weight changes, unusual tiredness, excessive thirst, or changes in growth and development.

Dr. A.K.M. Aminul Islam assesses patients according to their symptoms, medical history, physical findings, and test results. Diabetes care may involve blood glucose and HbA1c checks, medicines, food planning, and regular monitoring. Thyroid disorders may require hormone tests and follow-up testing after treatment begins. Children with growth or hormone problems may need a different assessment from adults with diabetes or obesity. Adrenal and pituitary conditions can also require specific hormone tests and sometimes imaging. Treatment depends on the cause, age, other health conditions, and response to therapy. Patients with long-term diabetes may need regular checks of their eyes, kidneys, blood pressure, and cholesterol as well. Hormonal conditions can be slow to show themselves. A report may reveal something before the patient feels much different.
