*[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* Endocrine diseases are uncommon in reptiles, but diabetes mellitus has been reported in turtles/chelonians (glucosuria and high blood sugar are the main findings, with polyphagia variable); in bearded dragons it has been linked to gastric neuroendocrine carcinomas, though the cause is often unknown.
