Diabetes Remission & Metabolic Health Clinic

The diabetes remission clinic in Surat at Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) is a physician-supervised programme that helps people with type 2 diabetes lower their blood sugar, reduce or stop medication, and work towards remission — by treating the metabolic cause, not only its complications.

What is the Diabetes Remission & Metabolic Health Clinic?

The Diabetes Remission & Metabolic Health Clinic is the metabolic arm of EDFC, India's first dedicated chain of diabetic foot and ulcer clinics. While our foot teams in Surat (Gujarat) and Vizianagaram (Andhra Pradesh) treat wounds and save limbs, this clinic addresses the diabetes that causes them — bringing structured assessment, medical weight loss, advanced therapies and nutrition together under one roof.

The need is enormous. An estimated 101 million people in India are living with diabetes and another 136 million with prediabetes, according to the ICMR-INDIAB national study (2023). Yet for many people with type 2 diabetes, the right combination of diet, weight loss and medical care can bring blood sugar back into a normal range and reduce the need for medication.

EDFC was founded by Dr. Ashutosh Shah (M.S., M.Ch.), a plastic and reconstructive surgeon with over 22 years of experience, who built the clinic around one idea: treat the diabetic foot and the diabetes together. Day-to-day diabetes and metabolic care is delivered by the clinic's medical team under physician supervision.

Who is the diabetes remission clinic for?

This clinic is for you if you:

• Have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and want to act early
• Have lived with type 2 diabetes for years and want to reduce your medication
• Have prediabetes and want to avoid progressing to full diabetes
• Are overweight and struggling with blood sugar, blood pressure or cholesterol
• Have a diabetic foot problem and want to treat its root cause
• Have a family history of diabetes and want a clear prevention plan

When to see a doctor in India: if your fasting sugar, post-meal sugar or HbA1c is creeping up, or you have been told you are "borderline," book an assessment rather than waiting for symptoms to appear.

Why choose EDFC for diabetes remission in India

• One roof for foot and diabetes: EDFC is the only clinic in the region where your diabetic foot and the diabetes driving it are treated together — fewer referrals, joined-up care.
• Founder-led standards: EDFC was founded by Dr. Ashutosh Shah (M.S., M.Ch.), whose limb-salvage work shaped India's first dedicated foot-care chain. Diabetes and metabolic care follows the same standard, delivered by the clinic's medical team under physician supervision.
• Evidence-based, not gimmicks: programmes use established tools — HbA1c, CGM, structured nutrition and approved medicines — with no guaranteed-cure claims.
• Two-branch access: consult at our Surat head office in Gujarat or our Vizianagaram branch in Andhra Pradesh, with online follow-up between visits.
• Honest expectations: remission is realistic for many people, but it is not guaranteed; we set goals based on your numbers and how long you have had diabetes.
