Best Diabetes Treatment in Patiala

Diabetes mellitus, commonly known as diabetes, occurs when the blood glucose or blood sugar level is elevated. The pancreas secretes insulin hormone that helps convert glucose into energy.

When a person has diabetes mellitus, either the body doesn't respond to the secreted insulin, or the pancreas cannot secrete enough insulin. Due to the lack of insulin or insulin resistance, the body is unable to convert glucose into energy, and the glucose accumulates in the body, increasing blood sugar levels.

India has more than 77 million diabetes patients, and the numbers are estimated to reach 134 million by 2045. The number of diabetes cases in India is increasing at an alarming rate.

With an aim to make India diabetes-free, Patiala Heart Institute, the best diabetes hospital in India, provides the best diabetes treatment solutions for all types of diabetes, including:

  • Type 1 diabetes: In Type 1 diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), the pancreas secretes little to no insulin. This type of diabetes mostly occurs in children and adolescents. Type 1 diabetes is caused by viral infections, autoimmune conditions, and genetic causes.
  • Type 2 diabetes:In type 2 diabetes, the body's cells exhibit insulin resistance, and as a result, the blood sugar level in the body elevates. Type 2 diabetes, or adult-onset diabetes, is more common in older adults.
  • Type 3 diabetes: Gestational diabetes may occur during pregnancy due to the production of insulin-blocking hormones in the placenta. However, the condition diminishes after childbirth. Hence, it is important to regularly measure blood sugar levels during pregnancy.

Diabetes mellitus is a serious concern that requires immediate medical care from the best diabetes doctors.If not treated properly, diabetes can result in serious complications such as cardiovascular diseases, kidney disease, eye damage, nerve damage, stroke, dental problems, foot ulcers, and muscular disorders.

The diabetes clinic at Patiala Heart Institute works in coordination with dieticians, nephrologists, physiatrists, neurologists, cardiologists, and ophthalmologists to provide comprehensive management of diabetes.

  • Sulfonylureas and glinides to help the pancreas secrete more insulin
  • Metformin to reduce the production of glucose in the liver and improve the sensitivity to insulin
  • DPP-4 inhibitors to reduce the blood sugar levels
  • Thiazolidinedione to make the tissues more responsive to insulin

Pathology of secondary diseases

Depending on the type, our best endocrinologists not only help manage diabetes but also take other associated diseases into account, such as diabetic foot syndrome, diabetic polyneuropathy, and peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
