In today’s world, where lifestyle diseases are increasingly common, programs like Dishoom Dishoom Diabetes play a vital role in engaging the community and spreading the message that health begins with awareness and consistent action. I commend Kauvery Hospital for its continued efforts to make wellness a shared responsibility.”
India is home to over 100 million people living with diabetes and nearly 135 million struggling with obesity, according to ICMR data—a compelling call for integrated care focusing on metabolic health.
The newly established clinic brings together experts in diabetology, endocrinology, nutrition, physiotherapy, psychology, and lifestyle medicine to offer personalized assessments, structured weight management programs, and preventive care plans aimed at fostering long-term metabolic balance.
Speaking at the event, Dr. K.Baraneedharan, Senior Diabetologist at Kauvery Hospital, emphasized, “People often treat obesity, diabetes, and hypertension as separate issues, but they all stem from the same root: poor metabolic health. Through this centre, we aim to create awareness, offer early interventions, and help individuals reclaim control over their metabolism before complications develop.”
The Dishoom Dishoom Diabetes 2025 initiative featured complimentary health services, including blood glucose checkups, foot studies, thyroid screening, AI-based diabetic retinopathy screening, dental checkups, and nutrition counseling. These services underline Kauvery Hospital’s commitment to promoting diabetes prevention and holistic management through accessible community engagement.
Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Kauvery Group of Hospitals, commented, “Dishoom Dishoom Diabetes is one of our most impactful community programs, raising awareness on diabetes and overall health management. Each year, we are heartened by enthusiastic public participation, making it one of the city’s most appreciated health awareness events. The launch of the Kauvery Metabolic Wellness Centre as part of this initiative reinforces our vision for preventive and holistic care.”
With this new initiative, Kauvery Hospital further strengthens its pledge to preventive and holistic healthcare, empowering individuals to recognize that a healthy metabolism is foundational to overall wellness.
