What We Treat
Treatments & Services
Common treatments and procedures offered at our clinic, tap “Learn more” on any card.
Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes
Complete care for both types, diagnosis, medication, insulin and long-term control.
Type 1 and type 2 need very different approaches, and type 2 itself changes over the years. Treatment is personalised to your age, weight, kidney status and daily routine, and updated as newer, safer drug classes become available.
Insulin Therapy Management
Starting, adjusting and simplifying insulin, including modern pens and regimens.
Insulin is not a punishment or a last resort; started at the right time, it protects your organs. We teach injection technique, dose self-titration and hypo management until you're genuinely confident, not just handed a prescription.
Diabetic Foot Care
Foot screening, ulcer prevention and early wound care for diabetic feet.
A yearly monofilament and pulse check catches numbness before an ulcer does. Corns, cracks and minor wounds are treated early and properly, the difference between a simple dressing and a hospital admission.
HbA1c Monitoring
Quarterly HbA1c-based tracking against a target personalised to you.
HbA1c reflects your three-month average sugar. Your target is set for your age and health, it is not 6.5% for everyone, and treatment is adjusted on trends, before complications build rather than after.
Gestational Diabetes
Care for diabetes appearing in pregnancy, coordinated with your obstetrician.
Tight-but-safe control protects both mother and baby. Most cases are managed with diet and glucose monitoring; when insulin is needed, it is completely safe in pregnancy, and usually temporary.
Diabetic Neuropathy
Relief for burning feet, numbness and nerve pain caused by long-standing diabetes.
Neuropathy is treatable: better sugar control slows its progression and specific medications genuinely reduce the burning and tingling. Treating it early also prevents the ulcers and falls it can lead to.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring
CGM sensor-based monitoring that shows your sugar pattern around the clock.
A 14-day sensor reveals the post-meal spikes and silent night-time lows that finger-prick testing misses. We read the full pattern with you and fine-tune food timing, activity and doses against real data.
Diet & Lifestyle Modification
Practical food, activity and sleep plans, built with our in-house dietitian.
Medication works far better on top of the right routine. Plans are built around normal Indian meals and your actual work schedule, because a sustainable seven is worth more than a perfect ten that lasts a fortnight.
