Active Control → Stabilise → Sustain  ·  Our Mission: 100% Meaningful Outcomes

The Gini Diabetes Control Programme — Built to Get Every Patient to Target

Most hospitals consider a patient 'managed' once medication is prescribed. We consider it managed only when the patient's HbA1c is below target, complications are prevented, and medication is being reduced — not increased.

What We Mean When We Say "Control"

"Our mission is for every patient who walks through our doors to achieve meaningful control of their diabetes — not just have it managed with increasing doses of medication. We define success as: HbA1c below 7.0, stable or reducing medication, and zero preventable complications. Nothing less."

— Dr. Anil Bhansali, Medical Director, Gini Advanced Care Hospital
Success ≠ Any Medication

Success means achieving target, not just starting treatment. A prescription without outcome tracking is not success — it is deferred responsibility.

Success = HbA1c < 7.0

The single most important number in diabetes management. Every patient in our programme has a committed HbA1c target from day one.

Success = Fewer Drugs

Our goal is the minimum effective medication, not the maximum tolerated. As patients improve, doses come down — not up. Our data proves it.

Why Most Diabetes Care in India Fails — And What We Do Differently

India's national HbA1c control rate sits below 20%. We treat this as a system failure, not a patient failure. Here is how most care falls short — and how we address every gap.

The National Standard — What's Failing
  • ❌ National HbA1c control rate: under 20% (HbA1c below 7.0) — 4 out of 5 patients are uncontrolled
  • ❌ 10-minute appointments — no time for CGM data review, lifestyle counselling, or medication optimisation
  • ❌ No outcome tracking — no hospital or clinic publishes how many of their patients are actually controlled
  • ❌ By year 5, 60% of Type 2 patients are on insulin — avoidable in most cases with early structured intervention
  • ❌ Patients cycle between GPs and physicians, collecting more medications with no unified protocol
  • ❌ No patient accountability — no follow-up system, no outreach when numbers drift
The Gini Approach — How We Fix It
  • ✅ Every patient's outcome tracked in our database — we see our number, we report it, we improve it every quarter
  • ✅ 2-hour initial consultations, CGM data reviewed every 3 days in Phase 1 — every data point acts on
  • ✅ Outcome targets set for every patient at enrolment — HbA1c goal, weight goal, medication goal, all documented
  • ✅ Insulin step-down protocol — 60% of Phase 2 patients reduce or stop insulin entirely
  • ✅ Registered dietitian + exercise prescription + medication as a triple approach — not medication alone
  • ✅ WhatsApp support + structured follow-up schedule — patients are never lost, never discharged

The Three Phases of the Gini Diabetes Control Programme

A structured, outcome-driven journey from initial control to lifelong maintenance. Every phase has a clear goal, a clear timeline, and a committed outcome target.

Phase 1
Active Control
Weeks 1–12 · 12-Week Intensive Programme
₹35,000 for the full 12 weeks
Goal: Achieve HbA1c below 7.0 for the first time, or regain control if lost.  ·  Who It's For: HbA1c above 7.5, newly diagnosed, patients who have lost control on existing medications.
Target: 80–85% of patients achieve HbA1c under 7.0 by Week 12
Includes: Weekly consults · CGM rental · Dietitian plans · Lab monitoring · WhatsApp support
Week-by-Week Protocol
Week 1
Full metabolic panel (HbA1c, fasting glucose, insulin, lipids, renal function, thyroid). CGM sensor setup and training. Comprehensive dietary assessment with registered dietitian. Baseline complication screening: eyes, kidneys, feet, nerves.
Weeks 2–6
Weekly consultations (in-person or video). CGM data reviewed every 3 days — rapid medication adjustments in response to patterns. Personalised diet protocol from registered dietitian. Exercise prescription: 150 min/week aerobic activity + 3× resistance training per week.
Weeks 7–12
Medication optimisation — step-down protocol initiated for patients responding well. Insulin reduction or cessation where appropriate. HbA1c measured at Week 12. Clinical decision made on progression to Phase 2 or extended Phase 1 if needed.
Phase 2
Stabilise
Months 3–9 · For patients who completed Phase 1 successfully
₹1,500/consult reducing to ₹800 as control improves
Goal: Sustain HbA1c control, optimise and reduce medication, address early complications before they progress.  ·  Who It's For: All patients who successfully achieved HbA1c below 7.0 in Phase 1.
Target: 60% reduce or stop insulin
Target: 70% achieve triple control — glucose + BP + cholesterol simultaneously

What Happens in Phase 2

  • Consultation schedule: fortnightly for the first 3 months, reducing to monthly as stability is confirmed.
  • Lab review every 6 weeks: HbA1c, renal function, lipids, liver function, urine microalbumin.
  • Gradual medication step-down as control is sustained — minimum effective dose at all times.
  • Complication screening: retinopathy (eyes), nephropathy (kidneys), neuropathy (nerves), cardiovascular (ECG, lipids).
  • Annual diabetic foot check added: monofilament test, ABI, vascular assessment.
  • Continued dietitian support and exercise check-in every 8 weeks.
Phase 3 — For Life
Sustain
Ongoing · Quarterly · All patients who have achieved control and stability
₹500–800 per quarter
Goal: Lifelong maintenance, prevention of relapse, prevention of complications — with the minimum intervention needed to hold what has been achieved.  ·  Who It's For: All patients who have completed Phase 2 with stable control.

What Happens in Phase 3

  • Quarterly check-in (video or in-person) — HbA1c reviewed, medication reviewed, lifestyle reviewed.
  • Annual full complication screening: retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, cardiovascular risk.
  • Annual HbA1c + full metabolic panel to confirm ongoing control.
  • Annual diabetic foot check: monofilament test, footwear advice, vascular screen.
  • Immediate escalation back to Phase 1 if HbA1c drifts above 7.5 — no new enrolment fee.
  • Patients are never "discharged." The team reaches out if check-in is missed.
"The better you get, the less you spend — but you never lose access to the team."

Specialist Tracks Within the IDM Programme

For patients with specific profiles, we offer dedicated tracks that run alongside or within the core programme — each with its own protocol, team, and outcome target.

🔄
Reversal Programme
16 Weeks

For patients with early Type 2 diabetes — HbA1c 6.5–8.5, diabetes under 10 years, not yet on insulin. The goal is not just control but complete medication-free normal glucose. Combines intensive dietary intervention (calorie restriction protocol), structured exercise, and metabolic monitoring.

Target: 70% achieve medication-free normal glucose at 16 weeks

💉
GLP-1 Accelerated Programme
Added to Phase 1

For patients with HbA1c above 9.0 or significant obesity (BMI above 30). Mounjaro, Wegovy, or Ozempic is added to the Phase 1 protocol, accelerating glucose control and weight reduction simultaneously. Managed by Dr. Bhansali — one of India's highest-volume GLP-1 prescribers.

Average HbA1c reduction: 2–3 points in 12 weeks

Our 100% Mission — And Where We Are Today

We know we haven't reached 100% yet. Our current Phase 1 success rate is 80–85%. The 15–20% who don't achieve target in 12 weeks have longer-standing diabetes, advanced beta cell failure, or complex comorbidities. We haven't given up on them — they stay in the programme with extended timelines and escalated interventions. Our public commitment: every year, we aim to close the gap.

Phase 1 Success Rate — Progress Towards 100% Mission
Current: 80–85%  ·  Mission: 100%  ·  Gap: 15–20% — actively working to close it

No other hospital in North India publishes its diabetes outcomes. We do. We report our numbers because we believe accountability drives improvement. When our team reviews quarterly data and sees that 1 in 6 patients did not reach target, it drives protocol changes, new interventions, and harder conversations about what more we can do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before joining the programme.

A regular consultation gives you a prescription. The IDM programme gives you a personalised, monitored protocol with weekly check-ins, CGM, dietitian support, and a committed outcome target. The difference is the difference between being given a diet sheet and having a trained team hold your hand through the change.
Every patient enrolled in the IDM programme is entered into our outcome database with their baseline HbA1c, medications, weight, and complication status. Outcomes are recorded at 12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and annually thereafter. Our aggregate outcome data is reviewed quarterly by Dr. Bhansali and the clinical team.
Yes. Phase 1 is specifically designed for patients who need rapid control, including those on high-dose insulin. Our protocol focuses on step-down — reducing insulin dependency, not increasing it. 60% of Phase 2 patients reduce or stop insulin altogether.
Triple control means simultaneously achieving: (1) HbA1c below 7.0, (2) Blood pressure below 130/80, and (3) LDL cholesterol below 2.6 mmol/L. Achieving all three simultaneously reduces cardiovascular risk by over 75% compared to controlling glucose alone. Only 7% of Indian diabetics achieve triple control. Our Phase 2 target is 70%.
Yes. Phases 2 and 3 are largely available via video consultation. Phase 1 requires at least 3 in-person visits (initial assessment, CGM setup, and 12-week review). All other consultations in Phase 1 can be video with home-delivered CGM. We serve patients across Punjab, Haryana, Himachal, and J&K.
Automatic escalation to Phase 1 with no additional enrolment fee. Our Phase 3 patients are monitored for life — the moment numbers drift, the team reaches out. Relapse is part of the journey, not a failure. We will never discharge a patient.
