Maria I. Constantino is an Endocrinologist based on Missenden Road, 2050, in Camperdown, NSW. She looks after people who have hormone and metabolism conditions, where sugar levels, growth, and body chemistry can affect day-to-day life.
In clinic, Maria works with adults and children, including families dealing with diabetes from different causes. This can include type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), as well as gestational diabetes in pregnancy. She also helps when blood sugar gets too low, which can happen with low blood glucose episodes.
Pregnancy and the weeks around birth can be a stressful time, so care needs to be steady and practical. Maria supports people through changes in sugar control and talks through what to watch for. She also looks at related issues like preeclampsia, where blood pressure and pregnancy health are linked.
Diabetes doesn’t always stay “simple” for long. Over time, Maria helps manage diabetes complications too, such as diabetic retinopathy (eye changes), diabetic nephropathy (kidney issues), and situations like diabetic ketoacidosis. She also looks at conditions that can involve the liver and skin, including transient familial hyperbilirubinemia, and newborn jaundice and newborn low blood sugar.
Some referrals come for weight and long-term hormone-related health too. Maria works with obesity and looks at how it can link with insulin resistance and other metabolic changes.
She also sees rarer conditions when they affect the endocrine system. This includes maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and Wilson disease, plus health concerns in babies like high blood pressure in infants. At times, these cases need careful follow-up and clear monitoring plans.
Maria’s approach is grounded and people-focused. She uses her endocrinology training to explain what’s happening in plain language, and she helps patients and families make sense of test results. She aims to keep treatment goals realistic and suited to each situation, especially when conditions can shift with age, illness, or life events.
For patients who need ongoing diabetes care or support with hormonal and metabolism problems, Maria is a calm, steady choice in the Camperdown area.
