Diabetes Care

Diabetes at home, managed properly between doctor visits.

For parents on tablets or insulin whose sugar is hard to keep steady. A Diagnex nurse checks sugar, gives insulin, looks after the feet, and makes sure your doctor's medicine and diet plan is actually followed.

A nurse checks an older man’s blood glucose at home, with a logbook ready beside them.

Does this sound familiar?

  • Sugar readings are written on scraps of paper, or not at all.
  • Insulin gets skipped, or taken at the wrong time.
  • A small cut on the foot was noticed too late.
  • Every doctor visit starts with trying to remember the last few weeks.

At each visit

What our nurse does, every time.

Diabetes care is delivered by condition-trained nurses. A standard visit runs about 75 minutes.

Sugar checks

Fasting or after-meal readings as your doctor advises, logged every single time.

Insulin

Given as prescribed, or technique and injection sites checked if your parent injects on their own.

Foot care

Feet checked for cuts, colour changes, numbness and swelling — the early signs of trouble.

Diet, as advised

The meal plan from your doctor or dietitian followed, and reviewed with the family or the cook.

Tests on time

HbA1c, kidney and eye-check reminders scheduled, with samples collected at home.

Warning signs

Low-sugar episodes, unusual thirst or weight change noticed early and reported.

Working with your doctor

Your doctor sets the targets. We make sure they're met at home.

Doses and targets belong to your doctor. We record, follow and report, so any change is based on real numbers rather than memory. If a review is needed quickly, a Diagnex doctor consultation can be arranged by video or at home, and tests collected without a trip to the lab.

How care unfolds

What a fortnight of care looks like.

An illustrative example, not a real patient.

Week one

Monday and Thursday visits. The nurse finds three expired strips and a glucometer reading 20 points high, replaces both, and starts a clean log.

Festival week

Readings creep up after a week of sweets. The nurse flags the pattern rather than waiting for the next appointment.

Week three

The log goes to the doctor before the review. The dose is adjusted on evidence, and the nurse explains the change to the family.

Plans and prices

Diabetes Care is added to the visit plan that suits your situation.

Diabetes care is added to whichever visit plan suits your parent. Twice-weekly visits suit most stable cases; insulin-dependent or recently unstable diabetes usually needs alternate days.

Diabetes care, twice weekly

About 9 visits a month with a condition-trained nurse, a doctor-informed care plan, and a WhatsApp update after every visit. More frequent visits are priced on assessment.

Caring for someone younger?

Type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diagnosed in the thirties and forties, are common in India and need exactly the same thing: someone making sure insulin, readings and reviews actually happen in a working life that leaves no room for them.

The care plan is built on the prescription, not on age. If you're arranging this for a husband, wife, brother or sister rather than a parent, the free call works the same way.

Your questions

What families ask us first.

Can the nurse change the insulin dose?

No. Only the doctor changes doses. The nurse makes sure the doctor has accurate readings to decide on.

Do we need our own glucometer?

It helps. We can suggest a reliable one and check that it's giving accurate readings — a badly calibrated meter causes more problems than no meter.

Will the nurse control what my mother eats?

No, and nobody should promise that. The nurse follows the diet your doctor or dietitian has set, explains it to whoever cooks, and reports honestly on what's actually being eaten.

My father manages his own insulin. Is this still useful?

Often yes. Technique slips over time — the same injection site used for years, a pen not primed, strips stored badly. A nurse catches those things.

What if there's a sudden low-sugar episode?

The nurse follows the protocol your doctor has set and informs you and the doctor. In an emergency, call 112 or go to the nearest hospital first.
