Diabetes

In SANJIVANI SPECIALTY CLINIC, Dr Pushkar Pradip Shah, Consultant Physician and Diabetologist, offers specialised and holistic attention to diabetes mellitus. Diabetes, which is marked by elevated blood glucose (sugar), is a lifelong condition which requires tough management to avoid long-term harm to the heart, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. We are determined to equip you with the knowledge and treatment to enjoy a full and healthy life and manage your diabetic condition.

The Significance of Integrated Management

Diabetes is not merely a sugar problem; it is a full-system disorder, and it affects almost every organ. Uncontrolled or poorly treated diabetes places you significantly at risk of:

• Cardiovascular Disease: It includes heart attacks and strokes.
• Diabetic Nephropathy (Kidney Damage): The most common kidney damage.
• Diabetic Retinopathy (Eye Damage):One of the most common causes of vision loss and blindness.
• Diabetic Neuropathy (Nerve Damage): This condition causes pain, loss of sensation, and may lead to future pain, particularly affecting the feet.

As a skilled Diabetologist, Dr Shah likes to see the complete picture of your well-being, combining the doctor's control of the sugar level in your blood and control over other chronic disorders (hypertension, high cholesterol, etc.).

Our Personalised Diabetes Treatment

• Diet and Lifestyle Counselling: Detailed instructions on counting carbohydrates, how to prepare your meals, and the program to make an exercise routine that suits your lifestyle.

Medication Management

• Newer Therapies: Newer therapies, such as GLP-1 agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors, offer cardiovascular and renal benefits in addition to glucose management.
