• Diabetic Foot Care Program and Vascular ClinicThe Department of Endocrinology at BMH KANNUR is the most comprehensive one stop centre for the evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of preventive and therapeutic aspects of diabetic foot. The diabetic foot division of the Department of Endocrinology is fully equipped with the most modern equipment to assess the function of nerves and blood vessels of foot. The department provides all services under one roof, including special customized foot wear. Under foot care programme we carry out reconstructive surgery in deformed diabetic foot –an emerging strategy for preventing diabetic foot-related amputations.
• Comprehensive Diabetes CareAlong with routine out-patient based care of diabetic patient, the department has a complete diabetic care programme, focused on providing an annual and quarterly diabetes check up to patients. Diabetes is known as a silent killer, and if left untreated, can cause kidney, nerve, eye, heart and foot problems. The annual checkup assesses the degree of glucose control and also measures the presence of diabetic complications. If detected early, many of these complications can be treated, and progression can be stopped.

These diseases include osteoporosis (an age and menopause-related thinning of bones), osteomalacia (weakening of bones due to vitamin D deficiency), hyperparathyroidisrn (a disease with bone pains and kidney stones, caused by excess parathyroid hormone levels resulting in dangerously high calcium levels in blood) and other complex bone diseases. The Centre has the best SENIOR ENDOCRINOLOGIST to investigate with advanced equipment and manage complex issues related to bones, such as unexplained bone pains and early onset fractures.
