1. Expert in Diabetes Management
Dr. Arpit Garg is a highly regarded diabetes specialist known for his precision in diagnosing and managing all major types of diabetes. His expertise spans across:
- Type 1 Diabetes: Often diagnosed in children and young adults, this form of diabetes requires daily insulin therapy for survival. Dr. Garg closely monitors insulin regimens, educates patients on carb counting, and utilizes technology like Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) to maintain optimal sugar levels.
- Type 2 Diabetes: The most prevalent form, typically affecting adults, but increasingly seen in younger individuals due to sedentary lifestyles. Dr. Garg crafts personalized plans involving oral medications, injectable therapies like GLP-1 agonists or insulin (if needed), and structured dietary guidance.
- Gestational Diabetes: This type develops during pregnancy and poses risks to both mother and baby. Dr. Garg ensures regular glucose testing, customized meal planning, and prenatal care to avoid complications and promote a healthy delivery.
- Diabetes with Complications: For patients with long-standing diabetes who face risks like nephropathy (kidney issues), neuropathy (nerve damage), and cardiovascular problems, Dr. Garg adopts a multidisciplinary approach. He coordinates with nephrologists, cardiologists, and neurologists to provide integrated, top-tier care.
His holistic, patient-first philosophy ensures every case is approached uniquely, offering care tailored to individual needs and lifestyle.
2. Advanced Treatment for Diabetic Foot Complications
One of the most serious yet preventable consequences of uncontrolled diabetes is diabetic foot complications, including infections, ulcers, and in extreme cases, amputations. Dr. Arpit Garg is recognized as a leading diabetic foot specialist, offering:
- Early Diagnosis: Through routine foot examinations and nerve conduction studies, Dr. Garg identifies neuropathy and poor circulation early—crucial to preventing ulcers or serious infections.
- Wound Care Management: His clinic is equipped for advanced diabetic wound care. Treatments include debridement (removal of dead tissue), infection control, and dressing with modern techniques that accelerate healing.
- Customized Footwear: Proper footwear plays a pivotal role in preventing pressure injuries and ulcers. Dr. Garg recommends and helps design specialized diabetic shoes or insoles that reduce pressure points and improve gait.
- Preventive Screening: Annual foot risk assessments and education on daily foot care empower patients to avoid long-term complications.
Patients under his care experience a significant reduction in the progression of foot-related issues, thanks to this proactive and multidisciplinary approach.
3. Holistic Approach to Diabetes Treatment
Dr. Arpit Garg’s treatment philosophy goes beyond prescribing medications—it’s a 360-degree strategy focused on long-term health and well-being:
- Customized Diet Plans: Nutrition is at the core of diabetes management. Dr. Garg works with dietitians to build meal plans that regulate blood sugar without compromising on taste or nutrition.
- Lifestyle Changes: Patients are encouraged to adopt manageable routines—exercise, stress management, and sleep hygiene—that support healthy blood sugar levels.
- Innovative Therapies: He stays updated with the latest advances, such as new insulin delivery systems, GLP-1 analogs, and wearable diabetes technology, ensuring his patients benefit from cutting-edge treatments.
- Patient Counseling: Educating patients is a cornerstone of his care. Dr. Garg takes time to explain test results, medication effects, and long-term goals, allowing individuals to actively participate in their health journey.
This comprehensive method not only improves health outcomes but also enhances the quality of life for diabetic patients.
4. Expertise in Diabetic Eye Care
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common and severe complications of diabetes, potentially leading to vision loss if not detected early. Dr. Arpit Garg ensures full-spectrum diabetic eye care through:
- Regular Screenings: Annual dilated eye exams are recommended for all diabetic patients. Dr. Garg ensures timely referrals and collaborative testing with trusted ophthalmologists.
- Preventive Measures: Tight glycemic control, blood pressure regulation, and cholesterol management form the trifecta of prevention strategies that Dr. Garg emphasizes to avoid progression to advanced retinopathy or macular edema.
- Specialist Collaboration: For patients with signs of eye disease, Dr. Garg coordinates care with retinal specialists and surgeons to ensure timely laser therapy or injections, where needed.
This integrated model ensures that patients receive total diabetic care—not just focusing on blood sugar but also preventing its complications like eye damage and foot ulcers.
