Diabetes & Endocrinology

Our department of Endocrinology and Diabetes is well equipped with the latest state of art technologies which help to diagnose and treat difficult cases. CGMS, Diabetic minilab, fundus camera, point of care analyzers are few of them.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS): This modern technology tracks glucose levels in blood every few minutes continuously with the help of small sensor. CGMS helps to understand trends of changes in blood glucose levels throughout day and night. Information gained with CGMS helps to plan customized treatment for every patient. CGMS is very simple and convenient to use at home. It does not interfere with daily activities. CGMS is particularly useful for those people with diabetes, who are experiencing wide fluctuations in their glucose levels or are at very high risk of hypoglycemia.

Insulin pump:Insulin pump delivers insulin into our blood continuously without any need of injections and it works as artificial pancreas. It also delivers insulin on demand with each meal to keep glucose under control after we eat. Insulin therapy with the help of insulin pump minimizes fluctuations in glucose levels, achieves better diabetes control and avoids hypoglycemia. Insulin pump is particularly useful for those people with diabetes who require multiple injections of insulin daily, such as those with type 1 diabetes or diabetes in pregnancy. At our diabetes centre, we help you to learn how to use insulin pump at home effectively and safely. We also offer using insulin pumps on trial basis.

Diabetic Foot Minilab: People with long standing diabetes are risk of numerous complications like diabetic kidney disease, diabetic retinopathy, heart disease, diabetic neuropathy etc. Diabetic foot is also potentially serious but preventable complication of diabetes. Periodic examination of feet for neurovascular function and any deformities helps to identify feet at risk and take preventive measures timely to prevent foot ulceration and amputation. Our all-in-one Diabetic foot minilab offers complete assessment of neurovascular supply of feet and any abnormal pressure areas in sole. Foot examination is recommended at least once a year for everyone with diabetes.

Fundus camera: Fundus camera helps to see retina and diagnose retinopathy instantly. It’s advanced technology in diabetes care and helpful to diagnose other conditions of retina as well. All people with diabetes should get their retina examined once in a year.

Point of Care analyzers: Our point-of-care machine includes HbA1c analyzers and glucose analyzers for use in the screening, monitoring and diagnosis of patients as well as rapid tests for diabetes.

Bone Densitometry: This latest device for Osteoporosis measures Bone Mineral Density (BMD) to find the risk level of osteoporosis or bone fracture.
