Frequently Asked Questions

What is a normal HbA1c level for diabetics?

For most diabetics, an HbA1c below 7% is the target. This indicates good blood sugar control over the past 3 months. At R.K. Hospital, we do regular HbA1c testing and adjust treatment accordingly.

Can diabetes be reversed?

Type 2 diabetes in its early stages can often be controlled or put into remission through significant weight loss, dietary changes, and regular exercise. However, it requires long-term lifestyle commitment. Our doctors at R.K. Hospital guide patients through a personalised management plan.

What are the warning signs of diabetic complications?

Warning signs include numbness in feet (neuropathy), swelling in legs (kidney damage), blurred vision (retinopathy), non-healing wounds (diabetic foot), and chest pain (heart disease). Regular screening at R.K. Hospital helps catch complications early.

Does R.K. Hospital treat diabetic foot ulcers?

Yes, our surgical team provides diabetic foot care including wound debridement, infection management, and dressing. Early treatment prevents amputation. Visit R.K. Hospital, Indrapuri or call 0755-4260605.

Part of the diabetes consultations, hba1c and follow-up guide

From this question to a practical consultation

Use this guide to prepare the history for a discussion about diabetes consultations, hba1c and follow-up. Record when the concern began, what has changed and how it affects daily activities. Bring reports and prescriptions already available; you can ask which further tests would help before arranging more investigations.

At the visit, ask what the clinician thinks is most likely and which findings support that view. If the diagnosis remains uncertain, ask how it will be clarified and which changes should prompt earlier assessment. A clear next step is more useful than collecting several possible labels from online searches.

Before leaving, confirm the purpose of each prescribed treatment, the follow-up date and who will communicate results. Keep that plan with your symptom record so a review can compare progress. Tell the clinician if the plan is difficult to follow because of work, costs, side effects or care responsibilities.

The care pathway: Diabetes consultations, HbA1c and follow-up
  1. 1

    Bring dated results and prescriptions

  2. 2

    Review targets and complication checks

  3. 3

    Agree medicines and daily routines

  4. 4

    Record changes and return for review

The sequence explains planned care. Urgent symptoms require prompt assessment and may change this pathway.

The assessment before a treatment decision

A consultation should establish the current diagnosis, what the results show and which target is appropriate for the individual. Home readings are more useful when the time, relation to meals and any symptoms are recorded.

Medical guidance: NHS: Type 2 diabetes · NIDDK: Managing diabetes

How can I prepare for an assessment of these symptoms?

Bring a symptom timeline, relevant reports, current prescriptions and your main questions. Ask how the diagnosis will be assessed, whether further tests are needed, what follow-up is planned and which changes require earlier care.
