Dr. R. Shivaa Mohan

Dr. Shivaamohan has done extensive research on obstructive sleep associated with diabetes mellitus and hypertension and on the prevalence of pre-diabetes in individuals working in the IT sector, aged less than 30 years. He has also conducted several programs on screening and treatment for diabetes and its complications under the banner “Screen Diabetes 2014” and covered more than 1000 individuals, free of cost. The recent trend is that diabetes no longer afflicts the rich but has permeated the middle strata of society where there are financial challenges. We are attempting to provide a single window solution against the absence of multi-centric check-up centers with reliable screening methods and anti-diabetic-medications. Dr. Shivaamohan regularly holds educative talks on diabetes, its precautions, and measures to spread awareness among all, especially in the IT industry where the prevalence has been more intense- which has become an absolute necessity in the milieu of wrong information. Dr. Shivaamohan is often seen on TV and heard on the All India Radio doing the clarion call on diabetes.
