The Diabetology & Endocrinology department manages diabetes and hormone disorders, and just as importantly screens for the damage diabetes does quietly to the kidneys, nerves, eyes, heart and feet. Control is reviewed against measured numbers rather than symptoms alone, using in-house blood testing.
The department works closely with general medicine, vascular surgery and podiatric wound care, which matters most for patients with a diabetic foot ulcer, where early combined treatment is what saves a limb.

Pillar Four
Questions patients ask
How often should I get HbA1c tested?
Usually every three months while treatment is being adjusted, and every six months once control is steady. Your doctor may test more often after a change in medication. The test is done in-house so the result is available at your consultation.
Can diabetes be reversed?
Some people with recent type 2 diabetes achieve normal blood sugar without medication through significant weight loss and sustained diet and exercise change, and that is worth aiming for. It is remission rather than cure, the tendency remains, and it should be attempted with medical supervision rather than by stopping medicines on your own. Type 1 diabetes always needs insulin.
I have a small sore on my foot that is not healing. Is it urgent?
Yes. A non-healing foot wound in someone with diabetes should be seen within a day or two, not watched for weeks. Early treatment is what prevents a small ulcer becoming a deep infection. Do not apply home remedies or cut the skin yourself.
What tests screen for diabetic complications?
A yearly review usually includes HbA1c, kidney function and urine protein, a lipid profile, an ECG, a foot examination for sensation and pulses, and an eye check. All the blood work and the ECG are done in the hospital.
Do you treat thyroid problems as well?
Yes. Thyroid function testing, treatment of underactive and overactive thyroid, and ultrasound assessment of thyroid swellings are all handled by the department.
