At CDC Metabolic Centre, we don't guess. We measure. Our clinic is equipped with cutting-edge technology to uncover the root cause of your metabolic health issues.
Explore the advanced diagnostic technologies we use at CDC to map your unique metabolic profile and design your personalized treatment plan.
What it is: A small, discreet sensor worn on the upper arm that measures your glucose levels every 5 minutes — 24 hours a day, for up to 14 days. No finger pricks needed.
How it works: The sensor transmits data to your smartphone via Bluetooth. We analyze the Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) — a standardized 14-day report that reveals your Time in Range (TIR), glycemic variability, and hidden patterns that finger-prick tests miss.
Why CDC uses it: CGM removes the guesswork from diabetes management. We can see exactly how different foods, exercise, stress, and sleep affect your sugar levels in real-time, allowing us to make micro-adjustments to your treatment plan.
What it is: Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a sophisticated, non-invasive scan that sends a painless, low-level electrical current through your body to measure your exact tissue composition.
How it works: The scan takes just 60 seconds and provides a detailed breakdown of your body into: Visceral Fat (dangerous fat around organs), Subcutaneous Fat, Skeletal Muscle Mass, Body Water, and Metabolic Age.
Why CDC uses it: The scale alone can't tell the whole story. Two people can weigh the same but have completely different health profiles. BIA reveals if you're "skinny fat" (normal weight but high visceral fat) or losing muscle while dieting — critical information for metabolic treatment.
What it is: A specialized scanning platform that measures the pressure distribution across your feet as you stand and walk, combined with a biothesiometer that tests vibration perception threshold in your nerves.
How it works: You stand on a high-resolution pressure mat, and the system creates a color-coded map showing exactly where pressure is concentrated. The biothesiometer delivers a gentle vibration to specific points on your feet to measure nerve sensitivity.
Why CDC uses it: Diabetic neuropathy often causes numbness — patients can't feel injuries, leading to ulcers and amputations. By identifying "high-risk" pressure areas and early nerve damage, we can intervene before a minor foot issue becomes a medical emergency.
What it is: A compact, take-home device that monitors your breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate, and sleep patterns while you sleep in the comfort of your own bed. No hospital stay required.
How it works: You pick up the device from our clinic, wear it to bed (it attaches with simple straps), and return it the next day. Our team analyzes the data to determine your Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) — the number of breathing pauses per hour.
Why CDC uses it: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is rampant in diabetic and obese patients — but 90% of cases go undiagnosed. Each time you stop breathing, your body releases stress hormones that spike blood sugar and worsen insulin resistance. Treating sleep apnea often dramatically improves diabetes control.
What it is: FibroScan is a specialized ultrasound device that uses transient elastography to measure liver stiffness (fibrosis) and fat accumulation (steatosis) — completely non-invasively, without needles or biopsies.
How it works: A small probe placed on your abdomen sends a gentle vibration wave through the liver tissue. The speed of this wave tells us exactly how stiff (scarred) your liver is. It also measures fat content via Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP).
Why CDC uses it: Fatty liver disease (now called MASLD) affects 1 in 3 Indians and is a direct consequence of insulin resistance. It silently progresses to cirrhosis if unchecked. FibroScan allows us to diagnose, grade, and monitor liver health over time — essential for metabolic care.
What it is: NCS is an advanced neurological test that measures how fast electrical signals travel through your peripheral nerves. It objectively quantifies nerve damage — unlike subjective questionnaires.
How it works: Small electrodes are placed on the skin along the path of a nerve. A mild electrical impulse is delivered at one electrode, and sensors measure the speed and strength of the signal as it travels to the other electrode. Slower signals indicate nerve damage.
Why CDC uses it: Diabetic neuropathy often begins silently — by the time patients feel symptoms like burning or numbness, significant nerve damage has already occurred. NCS allows us to detect neuropathy at its earliest stage and intervene to prevent progression.
