Metabolism
1) Introduction
As the stress of modern society steps up with time, coupled with imbalanced diet and inadequate exercises, metabolic disorders, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart diseases, are on a rise. As these conditions develop slowly over time, it may take years before any clinical symptom surfaces. In reponse, on April 2016, Singapore Ministry of Health has declared war on diabetes, describing it as one of the biggest burden on the healthcare system.
Our team focuses on managing metabolic disorders and its complications. We aim to educate our patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and to exercise self-control in the management of the disease and its complications.
