    Department of Diabetology

    Life is sweeter with better diabetes management.

    The Department of Diabetology at MSSH is the most preferred center for diabetes management, not only in the region but across the country. India has the dubious title of being the diabetes capital of the world, with one out of five Indians living with the disease. Over 40 million Indians today encounter many complications of diabetes like hypertension, high cholesterol, and lingering infections. In such a scenario the department, run by experienced doctors, provides world-class care at affordable costs. We ensure that the treatment given to our patients is holistic.

    We also focus on spreading awareness, early detection, monitoring, treatment, and management. The department also has several research publications to its credit, being involved in Phase III-IV clinical trials including Takeda SYR-322_402 and BI 1245.25

    Facilities

    Diabetic Club

    The Diabetic Club was incepted in 2009 with the goal to spread awareness about diabetes and its management. It aims to create a network/support system for diabetic patients, to helps them manage their lifestyle better. Besides this, the Diabetic Club also conducts several awareness programs and classes. Over 540 enrolled members are regularly educated at the Club about the disease and its complications.

    Charity

    The management of diabetes is most often an expensive affair, with the condition requiring treatment and management that is in most cases lifelong. This is why we have charitable schemes such as the Free Insulin Scheme to assist diabetics who cannot afford treatment. Several Type-1 patients have benefitted from the Free Insulin Scheme and the Novo Aid program.
