What diabetes follow-up includes
Reviewing your readings
Fasting and post-meal sugar values, home glucometer logs and HbA1c are looked at together to see the trend over months.
Medicine review
Tablets and insulin are checked for dose, timing, side effects and how they fit with your meals and work.
Diet and activity, in practical terms
General guidance on meals, portions, walking and sleep that fits an Indian household, not a rigid chart.
Related conditions
Blood pressure, cholesterol, weight and thyroid are often reviewed alongside, as they affect long-term risk.
Complication screening
Advice on when to have eye, kidney and foot checks, with referral for the ones that need a specialist.
When to come in sooner than planned
Readings repeatedly high or low
If your home values have shifted for several days in a row, or you have had episodes of low sugar.
Thirst, frequent urination, weight loss
These can be signs that sugar control has slipped, or of new-onset diabetes.
Tingling or numbness in the feet
Burning, pins and needles or loss of feeling should be examined.
A slow-healing wound
Any cut, blister or sore on the foot that is not healing within a few days.
Side effects from medicines
Stomach upset, dizziness or anything new after a medicine was started or changed.
How a diabetes review works

How you have been, any symptoms, and what has changed in diet, work or sleep.
- 2
History and examination
Weight, blood pressure and a foot check, plus a look at your readings and current medicines.
- 3
Tests if needed
HbA1c, kidney function, urine tests or a lipid profile, at intervals depending on your situation.
- 4
Plan
Any change to medicines or routine is written down with the reason, so you know what to watch for.
- 5
Follow-up
The next review is set depending on how stable your readings are and whether anything was changed.
What to bring to each review
- Your glucometer and sugar diary, or a photo of the readings.
- The latest HbA1c and other blood reports, with dates.
- All current medicines and insulin pens, including the doses you actually take.
- Reports from any eye, kidney or foot check done elsewhere.
- A note of any low-sugar episodes: when, what you were doing, and what helped.
Monitoring and referral
Your personal targets are set with you at the clinic, depending on age, health and other conditions.
- HbA1c is usually rechecked every few months, depending on how stable your control is.
- An eye examination by an ophthalmologist is advised at regular intervals to look for diabetic changes in the retina.
- Kidney function and urine protein are checked periodically, as early changes often cause no symptoms.
- Feet are examined at reviews; daily self-checks at home are encouraged.
- If control remains difficult, or the situation is complex, referral to an endocrinologist is discussed.

Consults at Shop 24, Safal Park, Nerul EastQuestions about diabetes care
Straight answers to what patients ask us most. Still unsure? Just ask.
Is Dr. Roy a diabetologist?
Dr. Swetabh S. Roy is a consultant physician with an MD in General Medicine, and diabetes follow-up is a regular part of his practice. When a specialist opinion is needed, referral to an endocrinologist is arranged.
What should my sugar levels be?
Targets differ from person to person, depending on age, other conditions and the risk of low sugar. Your own targets are discussed and set with you at the clinic.
How often should I get HbA1c tested?
Many people have it checked every three to six months, but the interval depends on how stable your control is and whether treatment has changed recently.
Can diabetes be managed with diet alone?
For some people in the early stages, diet, activity and weight change may be enough for a time. Whether that is suitable for you depends on your readings and overall health, and is reviewed at follow-up.
I was started on medicines elsewhere. Can I continue follow-up here?
Yes. Bring your earlier prescriptions and reports so the review can build on what has already been done.
