Endocrinologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the endocrine glands, which regulate hormones.
Endocrinologists, who are usually internists, often treat diabetes and thyroid disorders. They may further specialize in treating specific age groups, such as pediatric endocrinologists, who treat only children.
Endocrinologists can be board-certified through the Board of Internal Medicine, which is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.

It's "endocrinologist" and it means someone who deals with the ductless glands and the hormones they produce, Diabetics are often referred to an endocrinologist because the pancreas is an endocrine gland and diabetes is a problem with the hormone insulin produced in this gland. (The pancreas is also an exocrine gland that pumps digestive enzymes through little tubes or ducts into the digestive system. "Endocrine" means that secretions of hormones go directly into the blood stream.)
Some endocrinologists specialize in diabetes and limit their practice to that. Endocrinologists specialize in internal medicine and then do a subspecialty training in endocrinology.

Endocrinologist specialises in treating patients mainly having diseases of ductless or endocrine glands. Ductless or endocrine glands empty their secretions called hormones directly into blood.
