Diabetes (Type 2)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not use it effectively, resulting in persistently elevated blood glucose levels. India has the world's second-largest diabetic population. Long-term uncontrolled diabetes damages the kidneys (diabetic nephropathy), eyes (diabetic retinopathy), nerves (neuropathy), and cardiovascular system. Iswarya Hospital's Diabetology & Endocrinology department offers personalised diabetes management including HbA1c monitoring, insulin pump therapy, CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) setup, dietary counselling, and comprehensive management of related conditions including hypothyroidism and PCOS.
