How is diabetes managed by an Internal Medicine specialist?

Accepted Answer

Diabetes management involves more than just prescribing medication. Dr. Aditya takes a comprehensive approach including: detailed health assessment and blood sugar monitoring, personalized medication plan (oral or insulin), medical nutrition therapy with practical diet guidance, exercise recommendations, regular HbA1c monitoring, screening for diabetes complications (eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart), and patient education for self-management.

Question 6

What tests are needed for hypertension?

Accepted Answer

Initial hypertension evaluation includes: repeated blood pressure measurements, complete blood count, kidney function tests (serum creatinine, eGFR), electrolytes (sodium, potassium), lipid profile (cholesterol, triglycerides), fasting blood sugar and HbA1c, urine analysis for protein, ECG, and in some cases, 2D echocardiography and fundus examination. These tests help identify the cause and assess organ damage.

Question 7

What is preventive healthcare and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

Preventive healthcare focuses on preventing diseases before they occur rather than treating them after symptoms appear. It includes annual health checkups, vaccinations, cancer screenings, lifestyle modifications, and risk factor management. Preventive care helps detect silent diseases early (like diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol) when they are most treatable, reducing long-term complications and healthcare costs.

Question 8

How often should I get a health checkup?

Accepted Answer

For healthy adults under 30, a basic health checkup every 2 years is recommended. Adults 30-45 should get annual checkups including blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure screening. Adults over 45 or those with risk factors (family history, obesity, smoking) should have comprehensive annual screenings including cardiac evaluation, cancer screening, and vitamin level testing. Dr. Aditya can recommend the right package based on your age and risk profile.

Question 9

Do I need to book an appointment or can I walk in?
