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.
