Calwin Hospitals is one of the best diabetic hospitals in India, offering a range of services designed to diagnose, treat, and manage diabetes. Our diabetologists provide high-quality care for patients at various stages of the disease. We offer a comprehensive diabetes care program that aims at early diagnosis and guiding patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid long-term complications associated with diabetes. This includes early screening, educating patients about the effects of high blood sugar on their bodies, and regularly assessing their heart health.
The Need For Early Detection And Regular Diabetes Screening
India has the second highest diabetic population in the world, with nearly 98 million people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Besides cultural factors and lifestyle problems, genetics has also contributed to the problem. There is strong clinical evidence that Indians are likely to have greater insulin resistance, making us susceptible to the disease.
Unfortunately, a lack of awareness is a significant hurdle in preventing and controlling diabetes in India. A recent report found that nearly 50% of adults aged 15-49 are aware that they have diabetes, and only one-fourth of those diagnosed have their blood sugar under control. Improper management of diabetes is also a significant contributor to cardiovascular and renal diseases, causing a financial burden on middle-class Indians. This is especially prevalent in rural areas and among the poor and less educated population, as they are less likely to receive timely care and preventive assistance.
As one of the best diabetic hospitals in Nagercoil, we aim to educate residents in Kanyakumari and neighbouring districts about the need for preventive care and emphasise timely disease management to prevent secondary complications. We offer diabetes care programs for prediabetes, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. Our multidisciplinary team includes cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and ophthalmologists, guided by one of the best diabetologists in Nagercoil. Together, they treat and manage diabetic foot ulcers, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, and diabetic neuropathy. Besides a detailed clinical assessment at one of the best dialysis centers in Nagercoil, we educate patients about nutrition, complication prevention, and weight management. Among other things, we suggest dietary changes, an exercise regime suitable for the patient’s age group, and even bust a few popular myths surrounding the disease. For instance, many of our patients wrongly believe only overweight people develop diabetes. While it is true that obesity is a major risk factor, people with a healthy weight may also develop Type 2 diabetes.
We identify the unique requirements of our patients and guide them about an approach best suited for their age and lifestyle. Our advanced facilities, excellent diagnosis, and affordable care have helped us become the best diabetes hospital. Calwin Hospitals is one of the few care centers offering comprehensive diabetes care packages in Nagercoil. Our dedicated diabetes clinic, coupled with modern laboratory services, regular glucose monitoring, etc., ensures patients have access to the best care at the most affordable price.
