Understanding Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or can’t use it effectively. Left unmanaged, it can lead to complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart.
At Rudray Hospital, we focus on early detection, customized treatment, and lifestyle-based management plans for lifelong health.
