CHENNAI: With the second wave of the pandemic raging, people are hesitating to go to hospitals for regular check-ups. But that can make it risky for patients suffering from diabetes. That’s why Chennai’s
Kauvery Hospital recently launched a diabetes
helpline (+91 88802 88802).
This 24×7 helpline will address all queries related to diabetes management -- diagnosis, lifestyle modification, diet, drugs, and prevention of complications.
This service will be provided by a multidisciplinary team of trained medical professionals and nurses who will help patients and their families find the right solutions.
The helpline has been launched especially as people with diabetes are at a higher risk if they get
Covid-19.
