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.
