Hyderabad, Telangana (29/12/2017). Apollo Sugar Clinics has recently launched a diabetes care solution that can be accessed from the comfort of people’s homes. This launch was made by Founder, Chairman of Apollo Hospitals Group Dr. Prathap C. Reddy on a media release on the World Diabetes Day November 14th 2017. The diabetes care solution is itself called a Diabetes Home-Care Kit and it comes in three product ranges. It is equipped to provide 360-degree diabetes care at home and has some exciting inclusions that were hitherto unheard of. This first of a kind Home-Care Kit Digital Diabetes solution in India allows continuous communication between the clinic and its patients. This leads to optimization of treatment and better outcomes.

The technology drive in India took place at a rapid pace. Right from electoral identities to the traffic tickets everything is digitized. However, the inclusion of technology-based solutions in the healthcare sector has not been promising in India. This is a dire need considering the ratio of doctors to patients and the growing burden of chronic diseases like diabetes.

Contrary to this trend, the Apollo Group has always used technology as its ally to provide quality healthcare to its patients. Taking this legacy ahead, Apollo Sugar Clinics now presents an exciting solution to a very pressing issue called diabetes in the name of Diabetes Home-care Kit.

There are more than 73 million people with diabetes in India currently. There are more number of people with prediabetes lurking around the corner about to be diagnosed with diabetes.

Diabetes, characterized by high blood sugar levels, is the root cause for numerous medical conditions that can lead to hospitalization or end-stage organ disease. It causes kidney, eye, and foot diseases, and is responsible for cardiovascular diseases. It leads to heart attacks and strokes and is responsible for blindness, foot amputation, and dialysis.

These conditions are not totally addressed by the present diabetes care delivery model as diabetes care involves lifestyle modifications like
changing diet and taking up proper exercise. The present care model is flat and linear where the patient visits the clinic and gets a prescription filled.

With the Home-Care Kit, Apollo Sugar Clinics brings about a revolution. It brings in Apollo Glucome that can stream a person’s blood sugar levels directly to the caregivers. A high or low blood sugar level is immediately noticed and the patient is warned and due course of action is prescribed. Regular reports of blood sugar levels, interactive sessions with diabetes educators, mobile apps, and protection from diabetic foot in the form of diabetes socks and a voucher for diabetes shoes – Wrapping these unique features in the form of a product at affordable prices makes diabetes manageable and free from complications.

The Apollo Diabetes Home-Care Kit is now available in leading Apollo Pharmacy outlets. It is also available in online market places like Amazon India (http://amzn.to/2Ckc9c4 ) &Paytm (http://bit.ly/2EbruvY ).

The Home-Care Kit’s is also sold from www.apollosugar.com&www.apollodiabetescare.com

The future of healthcare and care for chronic conditions like diabetes is technology. The deeper inputs doctors have of the patients’ condition, the better they can respond to it. In fact, in the future, many conditions might be prevented.
