Caleb Cloggan was six months into his studies to become a medical doctor when his mother died suddenly in her sleep, two days after she was diagnosed with diabetes. He did not know it then, but her death later triggered his interest in endocrinology and was the catalyst to him becoming an endocrinologist.
Dr Cloggan will soon return home from Cuba and he is bursting with plans to change policies and improve how patients with diabetes and other illnesses that fall under his specialty are dealt with.
Endocrinologists are specialist doctors who diagnose and treat conditions like diabetes, thyroid diseases, infertility, growth issues, metabolic disorders, osteoporosis, some cancers, and disorders in the hormone-producing adrenal glands and pituitary glands.
