Diabetology
Diabetes is one of the most common yet often underestimated health concerns of our times. At our Diabetology Department, we focus not just on managing diabetes, but on empowering patients to live healthier, fuller lives.
When to See a Diabetologist
You should consult a diabetologist if you experience:
- Unusual increase in thirst, hunger, or urination
- Unexplained weight loss or sudden weight gain
- Fatigue, blurred vision, or slow-healing wounds
- Tingling, numbness, or pain in hands and feet
- Recurrent infections (skin, gums, or urinary tract)
- Frequent fluctuations in blood sugar levels (high or low readings)
These symptoms could signal the onset or progression of diabetes, and early specialist care makes all the difference.
Our Expertise
The department is led by Dr. Mathew Jacob, Chief Physician and a renowned Diabetologist with years of dedicated experience in diabetes care. With his expertise, patients receive personalized treatment plans, continuous monitoring, and comprehensive care that looks beyond just sugar control.
