What is MEN?
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia is a rare genetic disorder that affects the functions of the endocrine glands, resulting in hormonal imbalances which can lead to diabetes and other medical conditions.
While there’s no cure for MEN, early detection, dietary changes, and careful medical monitoring can help control the disorder. Approximately 3 to 20 persons out of 20,000 suffer from MEN.
