About of Jenny E. Gunton

Jenny E. Gunton is an endocrinologist working in Westmead, NSW. Her clinic is at the cnr Hawkesbury Road and Darcy Road, Westmead, NSW 2145, Australia. Endocrinology is all about hormones and how they affect your whole body, including your blood sugar, growth and energy, and bone health.


Jenny looks after people with a range of hormone and metabolism conditions. This includes type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, as well as gestational diabetes during pregnancy. At times, care can also cover serious diabetes complications like diabetic ketoacidosis. For many people, getting the right plan takes time and some trial and error, and Jenny aims to help make that process feel more manageable.


Her work also includes conditions linked to weight and how the body stores energy. That can include obesity, and liver-related health such as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Nutrition matters a lot in these situations, so she also supports people dealing with malnutrition and muscle atrophy when they need help getting their health back on track.


Hormones can affect the brain, too. Jenny has experience caring for people connected to cerebral hypoxia, where getting the right medical support is important for recovery and long-term health. She also manages conditions that involve stress hormones, including Cushing’s disease.


Bone health is another major part of her endocrinology care. She works with people who have osteoporosis, including postmenopausal osteoporosis. At times, she may also be involved when scurvy is part of the picture, which usually comes down to nutrition and vitamin needs.


Some patients come with very specialised needs. Jenny works with treatment pathways that can involve islet cell transplantation and pancreas transplant, as well as related care plans for people managing complex diabetes.


Over time, Jenny E. Gunton has built practical experience across both everyday endocrine problems and more complex cases. She focuses on clear next steps, careful monitoring, and helping patients understand what’s happening in simple terms. The goal is steady, realistic care that fits with real life, not just a one-size-fits-all approach.
