Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common lifestyle-related metabolic disorders. It develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Common symptoms may include frequent urination, increased thirst, excessive hunger, fatigue, blurred vision, delayed wound healing, recurrent infections, and tingling or numbness in the feet. Early diagnosis and proper diabetes management are important because good blood sugar control can help reduce the risk of serious complications affecting the heart, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels.
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, leaving the body with little or no insulin. It can develop at any age and requires lifelong insulin therapy and regular blood glucose monitoring.
Our clinic provides comprehensive insulin management, glucose monitoring guidance, dietary counselling, and strategies to reduce the risk of complications. Regular follow-ups help review glucose patterns and adjust treatment to individual needs.
Understanding how meals, physical activity, and illness affect blood sugar is an essential part of daily care. With appropriate treatment and ongoing support, people with Type 1 diabetes can lead active, fulfilling lives.
Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy when blood sugar levels become higher than normal and requires careful monitoring to support the health of both mother and baby. Our team provides regular blood sugar monitoring, pregnancy nutrition counselling, medication management when required, maternal and fetal risk assessment, and postpartum diabetes follow-up. With timely evaluation and appropriate management, blood sugar levels can often be controlled effectively during pregnancy. Continued follow-up after delivery is also important, as women who develop gestational diabetes may have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
Diabetic Foot Problems We Assess and Treat
Diabetes can affect the nerves and blood circulation in the feet, which may increase the risk of numbness, ulcers, infections, and delayed wound healing. At Havisha Hospital, diabetic foot care includes regular foot screening, neuropathy assessment, vascular evaluation, pressure offloading, wound care management, infection prevention, and limb-preservation strategies based on each patient’s condition. Identifying foot problems early and managing wounds promptly can help prevent complications, support healing, and reduce the risk of severe infection and amputation.
Diabetic Neuropathy and Foot Complications
Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage that can develop after prolonged periods of poorly controlled blood sugar levels. It commonly affects the feet and may cause burning sensations, numbness, tingling, reduced sensation, foot pain, or muscle weakness. Because reduced sensation can make small injuries harder to notice, regular foot checks and timely evaluation are important. Our clinic provides comprehensive neuropathy assessment, symptom management, foot-risk evaluation, and long-term care planning to help reduce complications and support ongoing diabetes control.
Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome
Obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and insulin resistance are closely linked with type 2 diabetes and overall metabolic health. Managing these risk factors is important for improving blood sugar control and reducing the likelihood of long-term complications. Our team provides weight management support, nutritional counselling, lifestyle modification guidance, metabolic risk assessment, and preventive diabetic care tailored to individual needs. A structured approach to diet, activity, weight, and regular monitoring can help improve overall metabolic health and support better diabetes management.
Advanced Wound Care for Diabetic Ulcers
Non-healing diabetic foot ulcers require specialized wound care and regular monitoring because delayed healing can increase the risk of infection and other serious complications. Our wound care services may include modern wound dressing techniques, debridement, infection control, moist wound healing, regenerative wound care approaches, compression therapy when clinically appropriate, and pressure offloading techniques. Treatment is planned according to the wound’s condition, blood circulation, infection risk, and overall diabetes control. Early and consistent care can support healing, help protect surrounding tissue, and reduce the risk of severe complications, including amputation.
Warning Signs That Need Diabetic Evaluation
Early diagnosis and timely diabetes management can help reduce the risk of serious complications affecting the nerves, eyes, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, and feet. You should consider consulting a diabetology specialist if you experience symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, increased hunger, unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, blurred vision, recurrent infections, burning or numbness in the feet, or slow-healing wounds. These symptoms may be associated with abnormal blood sugar levels or diabetes-related complications, so appropriate evaluation and testing can help identify the cause and guide treatment early.
