Preventive Health Programs

A diabetes prevention program helps people at risk avoid developing type 2 diabetes through structured screening, lifestyle change and monitoring. At EDFC in Surat, prevention is offered for individuals, busy executives and organisations — because the cheapest diabetes to treat is the one you prevent.

What is a diabetes prevention program?

A diabetes prevention program is a structured plan for people at high risk — including those with prediabetes — that uses proven lifestyle change, screening and monitoring to lower the chance of developing type 2 diabetes. It is run by the clinic's medical team at Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC).

The opportunity is huge: an estimated 136 million people in India have prediabetes (ICMR-INDIAB, 2023) — a stage at which progression to diabetes can often be prevented or delayed with the right action.

Prevention services are available at our Surat and Vizianagaram branches, with options for workplaces and busy professionals.

Who is preventive care for?

Preventive programmes suit you if you:

• Have prediabetes or borderline sugar readings
• Have a family history of diabetes
• Are overweight or have abdominal fat
• Are a busy professional wanting a thorough metabolic check
• Lead an organisation wanting to screen staff
• Simply want to stay ahead of your metabolic health

When to see a doctor in India: if you have been told you are 'borderline' or 'pre-diabetic', act now — this is the stage where diabetes is most preventable.
