  1. You have a computer, why don't you research it?


  2. There are some GPs who "specialize" or prefer to take patients with specific hormonal disorders. These doctors may work with Addison's patients or people with diabetes ("Diabetologists").

    For example, a diabetologist would "specialize" in the hormone insulin.

  3. The only speciality in the field of hormones is endocrinology. within the field certain docs may have a special interest in one very, very specialized area, but would still be endocrinologists.

  4. What hormones are you looking for?

    ETA: The adrenal glands release glucocorticoids. An endocrinologist would be your best resource. There are subspecialities such as renal endocrinology, but here the system you refer to is the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis.

    So, an endocrinologist can help you.
