Dedicated diabetologist consultation with Dr. Sanjay Sachdev — MD Internal Medicine, 25+ years. Type 1, Type 2, prediabetes, pumps and CGMs, GLP-1s, and a reversal-first pathway for early Type 2. Friends Colony East and Maharani Bagh.
Type 1, Type 2, prediabetes, gestational — all managed
Newly-diagnosed and long-standing diabetes; pre-diabetes (impaired fasting glucose, IGT); gestational diabetes; steroid-induced hyperglycaemia; secondary diabetes; and MODY where appropriate. Full CGM-led titration, insulin-pump support, and GLP-1 initiation.
CGM-led titration, not sliding-scale
Libre, Dexcom and Guardian downloads are pulled at each visit and reviewed for time-in-range, glucose variability, nocturnal lows and dawn phenomenon. Basal, bolus and GLP-1 doses are titrated against real data — not empirical steps.
Reversal-first for early Type 2
Structured weight loss, resistance training, protein-first nutrition, GLP-1 support where indicated, and staged medication de-escalation. HbA1c targets are written down at visit 1 and tracked quarterly.
Two clinics, home sample collection
Friends Colony East (C-58) and Maharani Bagh (E-64), 5–15 minutes from most South Delhi patients. Home phlebotomy for HbA1c, lipid, KFT, urine ACR and vitamin D — reports reviewed at follow-up, not left as unread PDFs.
Frequently asked
5 answers
Who is the best diabetologist near me in South Delhi?+
Dr. Sanjay Sachdev — MD Internal Medicine, 25+ years of diabetes practice — sees patients at Friends Colony East (C-58) and Maharani Bagh (E-64). Every HbA1c, CGM download and insulin dose is reviewed with the patient, not just written on a prescription pad.
What is the difference between a diabetologist and an endocrinologist?+
Diabetologists focus on diabetes and its complications. Endocrinologists cover all hormone disorders. Dr. Sachdev's practice covers both scopes for outpatient care — diabetes, thyroid, PCOS, obesity and GLP-1s — and refers on for endocrine surgery or complex pituitary work when needed.
Do you handle Type 1 and insulin-pump patients?+
Yes. Type 1, MDI (multi-dose insulin), pump therapy (Medtronic, Ypsomed) and hybrid closed-loop systems are supported. Basal/bolus titration is done from CGM download data, not by generic sliding scales.
What is included in a diabetologist visit?+
Full history, medication review, previous reports read, examination (BP, waist, BMI, foot check, retina screening reminder), HbA1c/CGM walk-through, and a written plan — drug rationale, red flags, target HbA1c, next review date. First visit is 45–60 minutes.
How soon can I book a diabetologist near me?+
Same-day and next-day slots are usually available at both South Delhi clinics. Urgent presentations — DKA suspicion, symptomatic hyperglycaemia, new-onset diabetes — are prioritised the same day. WhatsApp the clinic for triage.
