    If hormones are not regulated, it can lead to various endocrine diseases like dwarfism caused by insufficient growth hormones, resulting in smaller stature. Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders where blood glucose levels are high, causing frequent urination, excessive thirst and hunger. It can be caused by inadequate insulin production or cells not responding to insulin. Left untreated, diabetes can lead to heart problems, hypertension, eye complications, foot infections and strokes. Thyroid disorders like hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism occur due to overproduction or insufficient thyroid hormones, respectively, causing a variety of symptoms.
