Grandir - Centre d'endocrinologie et diabétologie pédiatrique (Vevey)

*Consultations are offered at two locations, depending on what is easiest for you: Martigny or Vevey.

• The "Growing Up" pediatric endocrinology-diabetes center**.

We are two specialists in pediatric diabetic endocrinology. We trained in pediatrics and pediatric endocrinology-diabetology in Switzerland, and each of us has spent our careers in different university hospitals. After years spent in international pediatric endocrinology-diabetology centers, we decided to return to the region where we both grew up to develop pediatric endocrinology-diabetology, and bring our experience gained over the years back to our region.

• Pediatric endocrinology

Pediatric endocrinology is a sub-specialty of pediatrics that deals mainly with hormone-related disorders. These disorders affect, for example, growth (short stature, tall stature), puberty (precocious puberty, delayed puberty), glands such as the thyroid, pituitary or gonads, among others.

• Pediatric diabetology**

Pediatric diabetology is a sub-specialty of pediatrics that cares for children with diabetes. This is mainly type 1 diabetes, known as insulin-dependent diabetes, but can also be other types of diabetes (genetic diabetes, type 2 diabetes).
