What a diabetes doctor checks at your visit

- Every medicine you take, including doses and timing, and any low-sugar episodes
Diabetes management in Mumbai: what treatment looks like
Most people start with food and activity changes plus a tablet such as metformin. Newer medicines (SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 based injections) lower sugar and also protect the heart and kidneys, and some help with weight. When sugars stay high, insulin is added, and Dr. Ghody teaches you how to adjust the dose. See insulin therapy guidance, type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes and diabetes in pregnancy for details.
Which clinic to choose
Both clinics offer the same diabetes care. The Vile Parle East clinic suits patients from the western suburbs. The Mumbai Central clinic at Wockhardt Hospitals suits patients from south and central Mumbai, and anyone who also needs hospital tests or other specialists.

Short answers from Dr. Pranav Ghody. For advice about your own reports, book a consultation.
Is a diabetologist the same as an endocrinologist?
A diabetologist focuses on diabetes. An endocrinologist is trained in diabetes and in all hormone glands, such as the thyroid, pituitary and adrenals. Dr. Pranav Ghody is an endocrinologist who treats diabetes every day, so he can also manage the thyroid, cholesterol and weight problems that often come with it.
When should I see a diabetes specialist?
See one when your HbA1c stays above target on treatment, when you are starting insulin, if you have frequent low sugars, during pregnancy, for type 1 diabetes, or when kidney, eye or nerve problems appear.
How often should my diabetes be reviewed?
Every three months until sugars are at target, then every three to six months. Each review includes an HbA1c, and yearly kidney, eye, foot and cholesterol checks.
Who is a good diabetes doctor in Mumbai for high HbA1c?
Choose a diabetes doctor in Mumbai who reviews your full medicine list, sugar readings and kidney tests, and who sees you every three months until your HbA1c is at target. Dr Pranav Ghody, diabetes specialist, works this way at both clinics.

Diabetes in Mumbai is very common, and many people do not know they have it. Anyone over 30 with a family history, extra weight or high blood pressure should get an HbA1c test, and see a diabetes specialist in Mumbai if it is high.
