The TTSH Department of Endocrinology provides comprehensive care in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and education of endocrine and metabolic disorders, including Diabetes Mellitus.
Our team of dedicated specialists manages a wide spectrum of hormonal and metabolic conditions through our Endocrinology and Diabetes Mellitus Specialist Outpatient Clinics.
As most endocrine disorders are chronic in nature, we adopt an integrated and patient-centered approach, working in close collaboration with our NHG Health partners by facilitating transfers of care or through co-management with primary care physicians where appropriate.
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic condition that requires ongoing medical support and active self-management. At TTSH, we provide comprehensive care through our multidisciplinary team comprising:
- Endocrinologists
- Nurse Clinicians
- Dietitians
- Pharmacists
- Podiatrists
- Physiotherapists
- Medical Social Workers
Care plans are tailored to each patient and include:
- Monitoring of blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, and body weight
- Lifestyle modification
- Managing medications and their side effects
- Regular screening for diabetes-related complications such as eye, foot, and kidney conditions
Our goal is to empower patients to take charge of their health through continuous support, education, and evidence-based care.
