In today’s fast-paced lifestyle and due to imbalanced dietary habits, diseases like diabetes and thyroid disorders are becoming increasingly common. However, with timely detection and proper management, these conditions need not escalate into serious health complications. With the aim of spreading awareness, Dr. Salman, Senior Endocrinologist at City Hospital (a unit of EMC Hospitals), shared important insights about diabetes and thyroid-related issues.
Dr. Salman explained that diabetes is a metabolic disorder that affects the function of the insulin hormone. As a result, the body struggles to control blood sugar levels, which over time can damage vital organs such as the eyes, kidneys, heart, and nerves. Similarly, any irregularity in the thyroid gland—whether hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism—can impact the body’s energy metabolism, mental well-being, weight, skin, and even menstrual cycles.
He emphasized that several myths surrounding these diseases often hinder timely diagnosis and treatment. It is vital that people undergo regular health check-ups, do not ignore symptoms, and consult a specialist promptly when any abnormalities are noticed.
Dr. Salman also highlighted that with modern medical techniques, diagnostic tools, and lifestyle changes, these diseases can be effectively controlled. He remarked, “Diabetes and thyroid disorders are not life-ending conditions. In fact, they can be a turning point towards a healthier life—provided one stays alert and seeks proper guidance.”
City Hospital’s Commitment to Holistic Healthcare
On this occasion, Dr. Rishabh Arora, Executive Director of EMC Hospitals, reiterated that the mission of City Hospital is not limited to providing treatment but also involves creating health awareness. He said, “Our hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities and a team of experienced doctors. We operate a dedicated Endocrine Clinic especially for diabetes and thyroid patients, offering a complete spectrum of consultation, diagnosis, and treatment under one roof.”
Dr. Arora further shared that City Hospital offers 24×7 emergency services, an integrated electronic medical record (EMR) system, specialized nutritional counseling, regular awareness camps, and personalized health guidance for patients. “Our goal is not just to provide care but to offer a safe and committed medical experience to every individual,” he added.
City Hospital continues to strive to empower every person to become more conscious about their health. Whether it is diabetes or thyroid disorders, with timely information and appropriate treatment, quality of life can be maintained.
