Diabetology

Diabetology at Rajah Hospital in Guruvayoor offers specialized diagnosis, management, and complication prevention for diabetes, a condition affecting a significant and growing number of patients across Thrissur district and Kerala more broadly. Our diabetologists work with patients to develop individualized treatment plans, whether newly diagnosed or managing diabetes for many years, combining medication, insulin therapy where needed, and practical lifestyle guidance. Diabetic foot care is a particular focus of the department, since foot complications are among the most serious and preventable consequences of poorly managed diabetes — regular screening here can prevent far more serious problems later. Nutrition counseling helps patients and families understand how everyday food choices affect blood sugar control, tailored to be realistic within local diets and routines. The department also monitors for related complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, and heart, coordinating with Ophthalmology, Nephrology, and Cardiology as needed. Rajah Hospital’s Diabetology team is committed to helping patients manage this lifelong condition with confidence, close to home.
