Diabetology

Diabetes Mellitus is a group of metabolic condition, resulting in a prolonged period of high blood sugar. It is often recognized by the presence of symptoms such as increased frequency of urination, thirst, and hunger.
Diabetelogists at Calcutta Heart Clinic &  Hospital Address all three types of diabetes:

  • Type 1 DM – when the pancreas fails to produce enough hormone by its beta cells.
  • Type 2 DM – when the body does not respond to the hormone produced by its beta cells.
  • Gestational diabetes – when an expecting mother has high blood sugar, despite no previous history of it.

If diabetes, despite the type, is not managed, it can lead to

  • Eye complications – including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts etc.
  • Foot complications – including neuropathy, ulcers, possible gangrene leading foot amputation
  • Peripheral arterial disease – pain and tingling in the leg
