Out of 131 patients screened, 15 new diabetic cases and 11 hypertension cases were detected
KARIMNAGAR, NOVEMBER 14, 2026: As many as 131 persons attended a free medical camp organised on the occasion of World Diabetes Day at Dr D Raghu Raman’s clinic in Boyawada in Karimnagar town on Saturday.
Out of 131 patients screened, 15 new diabetic cases were detected, and 34 known diabetic patients attended the camp; 11 new hypertension cases were detected at the camp, and 49 known hypertension patients attended the camp.
Senior Physician Dr D Raghu Raman inaugurated the camp, and leading pharmacy company Carona Remedies, Ahmedabad, Gujarat State, provided necessary support for the conduct of the medical camp. On this occasion, the organisers conducted free BP, blood sugar, and weight check-ups. They also distributed a kit to the patients, which includes a pamphlet on early action on diabetes with warning signs, a tablet dispenser box and a handloom handkerchief.
The official World Diabetes Day 2026–27 theme is “Early Action on Diabetes.” The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and WHO are using the campaign to highlight three priorities: recognising diabetes symptoms earlier, improving timely access to diagnosis and care, and helping people at risk reduce their chances of developing type 2 diabetes.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Raghu Raman said, “We aim to empower individuals with knowledge, enabling them to make informed decisions about their health. More than just screening, the session was about the importance of a holistic approach, integrating diet, exercise, and regular medical care”.
Dr Raghu Raman said one should not panic if they get a higher blood sugar level for the first time, as in a majority of cases, simple dietary care and walking or exercise are sufficient to bring glucose levels to normal. “It has been seen that those who adopted walking as a routine need less medical care to manage their diabetes. Their blood glucose levels remain in the safer brackets, and thus the complications do not affect them in comparison to other diabetics who fail to adopt exercise in their day-to-day lifestyle. Apart from this, exercise keeps a person in a positive mood. Positivity has a definite bearing on outcome, in every difficult situation in life,” he pointed out.
At the medical camp, the Karimnagar Dairy distributed hot milk to all the people who attended the diabetes screening camp. Dairy MD P Shankar Reddy, Marketing Manager T Rajashekhar Reddy and others were also present.
