Overview & Features

India is considered the diabetes capital of the world and Kerala it's the head office. To reverse the trend in this life-threatening debilitating illness the National Health Commission has recommended focused care by the health sector stakeholders to contain this epidemic.

Accordingly, in January 2011, Lisie Hospital started a dedicated Diabetology department with the motto - TOTAL DIABETES CARE.

The department houses a Senior and a Junior Consultant, Trainees in rotation from General Medicine, a Physician Assistant, and a Podiatry worker.

We are responsible for daily outpatient, in-patient, and interdepartmental consultations of diabetic patients with a special focus on pre and post-surgical hyperglycemia management.

We also undertake a Diabetic health check up programme focussing on early prevention of diabetic complications.
