“Registrations for the Pune Centre can be done from November 17,” he said.
“We aim to make the world free of Diabetes and Obesity. We ran the World Free of Diabetes and Obesity campaign, initiated in 2013, through lectures, voluntary programs and camps. But now for the first time, we are starting such a fully-operational Centre,” added Dr Dixit.
The Centre will first conduct a free HBA1C camp for ten days from November 21-30.
“The Centre, equipped with a diabetologist and counselor, will provide individual counseling and guidance by a diabetologist. There will be expert lectures per month. We will also take focused follow up of the patients using various modes. We intend to start such centres in other cities in the near future,” added Dr Dixit.
According to Dr Dixit, the Centre will be crucial for data management of the patients, which will further help our research.
