Treatments & health advice
Careplus treats blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol. These three often go together and usually cause no symptoms, so regular checks matter. Choose a condition to see what your readings mean and what helps day to day.
A home BP machine helps you and the doctor see your real day-to-day readings.
High blood pressure rarely causes symptoms, but over time it strains the heart, kidneys and brain. Most people control it well with daily habits and, when needed, regular medicine.
| Reading (mmHg) | Category |
|---|---|
| Below 130 / 85 | Normal |
| 130–139 / 85–89 | High-normal |
| 140 / 90 or above | High BP |
Keep total salt under 5 g a day, about one teaspoon. Go easy on pickles, papads, chips and packaged snacks.
Aim for 30 minutes of brisk walking, 5 days a week.
Take them even when you feel fine. Don't stop or change a dose without asking the doctor.
Get checked: at least once a year if your BP is normal, and at every visit if you're on treatment. Bring your home readings along.
Regular sugar tests and the HbA1c test show how well your diabetes is controlled.
Type 2 diabetes is very common in India, and many people don't know they have it. Caught early and managed well, it can be kept under control and its complications prevented.
| Test | Normal | Prediabetes | Diabetes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fasting sugar (mg/dL) | Below 100 | 100–125 | 126 or above |
| HbA1c (3-month average) | Below 5.7% | 5.7–6.4% | 6.5% or above |
Fill half the plate with vegetables. Swap some white rice for ragi, millets or whole wheat, and cut down on sweets and sugary drinks.
A 10–15 minute walk after dinner helps bring sugar down. Aim for 150 minutes of activity a week.
Look at your feet every day for cuts, blisters or numbness, and show the doctor any wound that's slow to heal.
Get checked: if you are over 30, overweight, or diabetes runs in your family, get a sugar test. If you have diabetes, HbA1c is usually checked every 3 to 6 months.
A lipid profile blood test shows your cholesterol levels. It's best done after an overnight fast unless the doctor says otherwise.
High cholesterol slowly narrows the arteries and raises the risk of heart attack and stroke. It has no symptoms, so a blood test is the only way to know.
| Test | Desirable |
|---|---|
| Total cholesterol | Below 200 |
| LDL ("bad" cholesterol) | Below 100 |
| HDL ("good" cholesterol) | 40+ men · 50+ women |
| Triglycerides | Below 150 |
Cut down on fried snacks, bakery items, vanaspati and too much ghee. Add more vegetables, dal, oats and nuts.
Quitting smoking lowers your heart risk faster than almost anything else. Ask us for help.
Losing even a few kilos, especially from the belly, improves cholesterol and sugar together.
Get checked: adults should have a lipid profile every few years, and once a year if you have diabetes, high BP, or heart disease in the family.
In an emergency, don't wait for clinic hours. Chest pain, sudden weakness or numbness on one side, slurred speech, severe breathlessness, or confusion with very low sugar need emergency care straight away.
