Transforming Diabetes Care in Sri Lanka

A Comprehensive, Patient-Centered Approach

Elderly care in Sri Lanka

Glory Kingdom Hospitals is proud to lead a pioneering healthcare revolution in Sri Lanka by launching the first private hospital chain focused on comprehensive diabetes management. In a country where the prevalence of diabetes has surged to alarming levels, our model combines evidence-based Western medicine with Ayurvedic therapies, digital health innovation, and lifestyle empowerment.

We aim not only to treat the disease - but to transform lives through integrated, long-term care that restores hope, health, and balance.

According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), over 1 in 10 adults in Sri Lanka is affected by diabetes, with many more undiagnosed or living with pre-diabetic conditions. The lifestyle transition toward processed foods, sedentary behavior, and urban stress has resulted in:

  • Increased type 2 diabetes in younger populations
  • High rates of diabetes-related complications (renal failure, stroke, vision loss)
  • Underserved rural areas lacking regular glucose screening or education
  • Overburdened public hospitals and fragmented care delivery

This is a national health emergency, and private sector innovation is urgently needed to address both prevention and treatment.

Glory Kingdom Hospitals offers an end-to-end chronic care pathway, integrating diagnostics, education, treatment, follow-up, and support through:

  • Multidisciplinary Diabetes Clinics

    • Endocrinologists and diabetologists
    • Diabetes nurse educators and foot care nurses
    • Clinical dietitians and fitness consultants
    • Ophthalmologists, nephrologists, and cardiologists

  • Personalized Treatment Plans

    • Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational diabetes care
    • Oral medications, insulin therapy, and insulin pumps
    • Glucose monitoring (home-based and digital integration)
    • Diabetic foot care and ulcer prevention programs

  • 24/7 Digital Diabetes Monitoring

    • Remote blood sugar tracking via mobile app
    • Telemedicine consults and emergency alerts
    • WhatsApp and portal-based daily guidance for medication and diet

Glory Kingdom Hospitals uniquely bridges traditional and modern medicine to offer holistic diabetic care. Our Ayurvedic interventions are supported by centuries of practice and modern safety protocols:

  • Herbal medications (e.g., Salacia, Gymnema, Fenugreek) to regulate blood sugar
  • Panchakarma detox programs to rejuvenate metabolic functions
  • Therapeutic yoga and meditation for stress-induced insulin resistance
  • Special Ayurvedic dietary plans customized by dosha types

This fusion enhances patient compliance, glycemic control, and emotional wellness, especially for those seeking culturally resonant care.

We go beyond prescriptions by empowering patients and families to take control of their health through:

  • Structured Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) programs
  • Cooking workshops and low-GI food planning
  • Group counseling and emotional wellness for chronic illness coping
  • School and workplace awareness sessions for younger populations

Our care model addresses the special needs of:

  • Elderly diabetic patients with multiple comorbidities
  • Pregnant women with gestational diabetes
  • Children and adolescents with juvenile diabetes
  • Patients with vision loss, neuropathy, or dialysis needs

For families living abroad, we offer:

  • Online care coordination and report sharing
  • Home-based lab visits and mobile nursing services
  • Virtual consultations with diabetologists and Ayurveda specialists
  • Elderly care integration with diabetes follow-up and meal planning

By addressing the biological, emotional, social, and cultural aspects of diabetes, Glory Kingdom Hospitals provides unmatched support. We are closing the care gap between public sector limitations and the rising middle-class demand for premium, private, ethical care.

This is not just a hospital - it is a chronic care revolution.

If you or your loved ones are navigating diabetes, Glory Kingdom Hospitals offers not just treatment - but a partnership for life. Let us help you live stronger, longer, and better.
