Uncontrolled  Diabetes -HbA1c  of 10% , FBS- 200mg /dl , PLBS- 350 mg/dl with noticeable improvement within 1 month (FBS- 120 mg/dl , PLBS- 180mg/dl) .

Introduction

This case highlights how structured diabetes care can yield significant improvement in a short span—even in cases of uncontrolled HbA1c.

High HbA1c levels require timely medical attention to avoid long-term organ damage. Our clinic specializes in treating uncontrolled diabetes using personalised medication plans and continuous monitoring.

Background: A Patient Worried About Worsening Diabetes

A 55-year-old patient presented with an HbA1c of 10%, indicating severely uncontrolled diabetes. The patient reported fatigue, weight loss, increased frequency of urination, persistently high blood glucose levels, and emotional stress. There was significant concern regarding the heightened risk of long-term complications.

Our Approach

Education on lifestyle patterns and regular follow-ups were aligned with our comprehensive diabetes care programs designed for sustained glycaemic control, which included:

  • Medication realignment

  • Dietary modification

  • Daily blood glucose monitoring charts

  • Education on lifestyle patterns

  • Clinic-led follow-ups for encouragement and ongoing support

Recovery and Outcome

Within 1 month, the patient experienced:

  • Noticeable reduction in fasting blood sugar (FBS) and post-lunch blood sugar (PLBS)

  • Better symptom control

  • Renewed confidence in managing diabetes

It was explained to the patient that HbA1c reflects long-term control and typically improves over 2–3 months.

Doctor’s Perspective

Even when HbA1c is significantly elevated, early glycaemic stabilization is achievable through structured medical care, patient involvement, and consistent education.

Such outcomes are commonly seen when patients follow a structured plan under the supervision of an experienced diabetologist.

Key Learnings from the Case

  • Timely intervention helps prevent long-term organ damage

  • Patient support and counselling are critical to success

  • Consistency for even 2–3 weeks can produce measurable improvements in FBS and PLBS

  • HbA1c reduction requires 2–3 months to reflect sustained control

Our Message

Diabetes may feel overwhelming initially, but with a committed clinician–patient partnership, meaningful improvement begins sooner than expected.
