Diabetes Care Centre
One in every ten adults in Sri Lanka has diabetes while its symptoms are not always obvious, which makes it a difficult disease to detect early on. Uncontrolled diabetes could lead to complications such as heart attacks and strokes, kidney disease, neuropathy, retinopathy, ulcerations, amputations, and blindness.
CDEM’s main objective is to combat this deadly disease as it strives to provide patients with the best in holistic care available in the country with the aid of Sri Lanka’s leading specialists in diabetology, endocrinology, cardiology, renal disease, ophthalmology, vascular surgery and clinical nutrition, assisted by an experienced team of diabetes nurses, health educators, pharmacists, dieticians, sexologists, orthotists, physiotherapists, lab technicians, clinical care assistants and Patient Relations Officers.
Early detection
Because the ill-effects of diabetes can remain hidden for so long, by the time patients notice symptoms, more significant and irreversible problems may have cropped up. This is why we at CDEM put special emphasis on early screening, early detection and timely control.
Weight loss, excessive thirst, excessive urination, constant hunger, lethargy, slow-healing wounds, recurrent infections and blurred vision could all be signs of diabetes and if you have one of these symptoms, you should get screened early in order to start battling the disease as early as possible.
