Specialities

Specialized Diabetes consultation

This is the first discussion with the doctor which includes detailed evaluation of the patient. The doctor then asks for the investigations needed for the particular patient.

Patient is seen by the Diabetes specialist once again at the end of the evaluation where the doctors spend quality time in clearing the patients doubts related to treatment , assessing the reports and making a final summary before giving them the treatment. Patients are also educated about other related things.

Nephro Diabetology

Renal involvement is a common complication of diabetes and yet remains the most neglected aspect, both by patients and doctors alike. It may range from just proteinuria to end stage renal disease requiring dialysis.

Timely intervention helps. Patients with such problems are referred to this speciality where they will be assessed by our caring nephrologist. They may be asked to do special tests if required as per the assessment done by the doctor and are guided accordingly.

Cardio Diabetology

Diabetes and coronary artery disease are like husband and wife. Since coronary artery disease and diabetes go hand in hand, all patients should ideally be screened for CAD. Patients are evaluated for the same.

Psycho Diabetology

There is no doubt that chronic illnesses and psychological disorders go hand in hand. Unfortunately these are never given the due attention and most of the times are missed.

To be afflicted by a chronic disease like diabetes at young age can have a negative impact on quality of life. Even in such patients timely counselling and treatment is available and helps in more than one way. It has a strong impact on the main disease and our dynamic psychiatrist and psychologist have made many faces smile.

Neuro Diabetology

Diabetic patients are more prone for microvascular and macrovascular complications of the nervous system and hence we have our neurologist who will take care of patients who are suffering from related conditions.

Counseling by Diabetes educator / nutritionist

The department of Medical Nutrition Therapy and Diabetes Education consists of a team of qualified and dedicated nutritionists who spend quality time with the patient recalling diet history, prescribing custom made diet, clearing any myths and misconceptions around diet in diabetes and also educating them on insulin techniques and hypoglycaemia management which are very much a part of diabetes care.

Laboratory facilities meeting international standards

Our friendly laboratory staff makes the not so pleasant experience of blood collection, a pleasant one for the patient and our state of the art laboratory conducts all the specialised tests needed for comprehensive diabetes care.

We do all the tests by gold standard techniques and approved equipments. All this is at affordable prices and it will not be wrong to mention that our prices are the lowest compared to any other lab.

Well equipped Podiatry department/Foot Care

DOPPLER STUDY
Assessment of peripheral vascular flow, which can be asymptomatically decreased in diabetics.
Calculation of Ankle-Branchial index (ABI) will also be done.
This instrument provide information about blood velocity, blood pressure and vascular images.

Vibration Perception Test
The diagnosis of neuropathy is an important consideration in determining if a foot is particularily vulnerable to painless injury, leading to chronic and spreading ulcer. This has terminal consequences and could lead to high level amputations.
Conventional assessment of neuropathy with cotton wool, vibrating tuning fork, pinprickle and hot and cold sensation give qualitative diagnosis. It is necessary to decide quantitatively how deficient the protecting sensations have become to help decide the incremental risks the foot is at with diminishing sensations and increasing threshold.
The vibrometer Vibration perception test (VPT) helps us, if used properly and with due precautions, to establish this threshold in the form of vibration perception threshold. This is done by applying a vibrator that gives minute last normally detectable vibration, in the foot. The failure to detect the same can be quantitatively to decide the incremental risks.

Hot perception test / Cold perception test (HPT/CPT)
The loss of nerve fibers in diabetic neuropathy is neither uniform nor simultaneously. The damage to small thinly myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers is usually the beginning. This results in diminishing thermal and pain sensation. Hot perception test/Cold perception test (HPT/CPT) helps in detecting diabetic polyneuropathy at an early stage.

Pedography
The pressure picture of the neuropathic diabetic patient can be influenced by foot deformities and incorrect foot function. In any case, the specific foot regions with higher pressures indicate greater risk for tissue breakdown. Pedography may aid early detection of deformed feet and malfunction. In addition to the standard therapy for diabetic patients, an altered load on the foot with localized high pressures may require immediate foot treatment with appropriate footwear and pressure relieving orthotics. Under no circumstances should these individuals walk barefoot because plantar pressures will increase dramatically and the foot is left unprotected. Shoes and orthotics should be fabricated by a trained professional. The 1:1 hardcopy of the pedography platform measurement provides a baseline for the construction of the shoe insert. The patient can then be measured inside the modified shoe for quantification of the load.In-shoe pressure distribution measurement systems were designed for that purpose.

Opthalmology

Eye check up is mandatory to rule out Diabetes Retinopathy.
