Diabetology

Managing complications arising from Diabetes Mellitus can be costly, making preventive care essential for effective long-term management. Given that Diabetes Mellitus affects multiple systems in the body, our comprehensive approach ensures that patients are thoroughly assessed for ophthalmic, neurological, cardiac, renal, and peripheral vascular complications (including diabetic foot). Led by Dr. Biju Paul, a highly experienced physician and diabetologist, our care strategy focuses on minimizing unnecessary investigations and avoiding duplicative testing, thereby keeping costs manageable while maintaining high standards of care.

We prioritize patient education as a key aspect of diabetes management. Our clinic conducts regular classes on diet and lifestyle modifications tailored for diabetic patients. For those requiring insulin initiation, we provide detailed guidance on the benefits of insulin therapy, addressing concerns and alleviating fears surrounding its use. For patients with unstable diabetes who need insulin therapy, admission for stabilization is offered when necessary, with the goal of smoothly transitioning care back to the referring doctor for ongoing management.

Our clinic also serves as a specialized referral center for diabetic foot problems. For patients with diabetic foot ulcers, we conduct vascular assessments to predict the likelihood of healing and to determine whether surgical interventions, such as bypass procedures, are necessary. Under the expertise of Dr. M.K. Padmanabhan, our vascular surgeon, we offer a range of advanced procedures including aorto-bifemoral, femoropopliteal bypass, endarterectomy, thrombectomy, and embolectomy. Our primary objective is limb preservation, taking every possible measure to prevent amputations. We also provide comprehensive guidance on foot care, including posture correction, walking exercises, callus management, toenail care, footwear recommendations, and claw foot correction.

Throughout the process, our focus remains on seamless coordination with referring doctors, ensuring that patients are routinely referred back for follow-up and ongoing care.
