Diabetes and Endocrinology Treatments and Procedures

Diabetes Treatments and Procedures

At Kauvery Hospitals, we provide both Invasive and non-invasive treatment for Diabetes.

Invasive Treatment Methods

Islet Cell Transplantation

When insulin-producing cells in the pancreas’ islets are destroyed, it results in Type 1 diabetes. This transplantation procedure involves extracting the pancreatic islet cells from a deceased donor and implanting them in the body of a Type 1 diabetic.

Diabetic Foot - Podiatry

Over time, your diabetes might affect the sensation in your legs and feet, causing you to feel tingling and numbness in your limbs. This is called diabetic neuropathy. When you lack sufficient blood flow in your legs, this could lead to gangrene. Both neuropathy and gangrene are best treated by amputating the concerned limb.

Non-Invasive Treatment Methods

Bariatric Surgery

This weight loss surgery can be done by minimally invasive means to treat Type 2 diabetes. It treats diabetes by controlling the amount of sugar in the blood.

Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring

A patient’s glucose levels are tracked 24x7 in real-time. Using this data, doctors can make quick decisions that balance the patient’s food, physical activity, and medicines.

Insulin Pump

This is a small electronic device filled with insulin. It releases small doses of insulin into the patient’s body.
