Did You Know? India has over 101 million people living with diabetes and another 136 million with pre-diabetes — making it the diabetes capital of the world. In Northeast India, urban dietary patterns and genetic susceptibility mean that 1 in 4 adults above 35 is either diabetic or pre-diabetic. Most do not know it. The Special Sugar Package at Apollo Clinic Dispur is specifically designed to close this gap. 

What Is the Special Sugar Package at Apollo Clinic Dispur?
The Special Sugar Package is Apollo Clinic Dispur’s dedicated diabetes-focused health screening. It is not simply a blood sugar test — it is a comprehensive evaluation of blood sugar levels, long-term glucose control, and the four body systems most directly affected by diabetes: the kidneys, liver, heart, and thyroid. This package is built on the clinical understanding that diabetes is never a standalone condition — it affects multiple organ systems simultaneously, and monitoring those systems is as important as monitoring blood sugar itself. What makes the Special Sugar Package particularly valuable is the inclusion of the Urine Albumin Creatinine Ratio (UACR) — a urine test that is the most sensitive early indicator of diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage caused by diabetes). The UACR detects microscopic protein leakage from the kidneys years before creatinine levels rise or symptoms appear — giving patients a critical early warning that protects kidney health. This package is perfectly suited for: • People recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes who need a complete baseline assessment • Pre-diabetics who want to monitor whether their condition is progressing or improving • Anyone with a family history of diabetes — especially those above 30 in Guwahati • Existing diabetics who need annual monitoring of blood sugar control and organ health • People experiencing symptoms such as unusual thirst, frequent urination, unexplained fatigue, or blurry vision • Anyone who wants an affordable, focused diabetes health check without a full-body screening

At ₹2,990, saving ₹2,330 from the original ₹5,320, the Special Sugar Package is the most affordable dedicated diabetes screening available at Apollo Clinic Dispur, Guwahati.

What Is Included in the Special Sugar Package?
(Complete Test List) The Special Sugar Package covers 7 assessment areas specifically chosen for diabetes monitoring:
• Blood Sugar Fasting, Blood Sugar PP (Post-Prandial), HbA1cSugar Assessment:
• Hemoglobin (Hb%) — to detect anaemia, which is common in diabeticsBlood Assessment
:• Cholesterol Profile: LDL, HDL, VLDL, Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Cholesterol RatioHeart Assessment:
• Creatinine, Uric AcidKidney Assessment:
• SGPT (SGOT) — to monitor liver health, as fatty liver frequently coexists with diabetesLiver Assessment:
• TSH — thyroid disorders directly affect blood sugar control and metabolic rateThyroid Assessment
• Urine R/E, Urine Albumin Creatinine Ratio (UACR), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Chloride (Cl)Other Essential Tests:

What Does Each Test in the Special Sugar Package Reveal?
1. Sugar Assessment — The Three Tests Every Diabetic Needs The Special Sugar Package includes all three key blood sugar tests together:
• Blood Sugar Fasting (FBS) measures glucose after 8 to 10 hours without food — the standard diagnostic test for diabetes. Normal: below 100 mg/dL. Pre-diabetes: 100–125 mg/dL. Diabetes: above 126 mg/dL
• Blood Sugar PP (Post-Prandial) measures glucose two hours after a meal — revealing post-meal glucose spikes that fasting tests alone can miss. Many people with post-meal glucose intolerance have normal fasting readings.
• HbA1c (Glycated Haemoglobin) shows your average blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months — it cannot be manipulated by fasting on the day of the test. Normal: below 5.7%. Pre-diabetes: 5.7%–6.4%. Diabetes: 6.5% and above. For existing diabetics, HbA1c is the most important quarterly monitoring test. Together these three tests give the most complete and honest picture of blood sugar control. They are the gold standard recommended by ICMR and ADA for diabetes diagnosis and management.

2. Urine Albumin Creatinine Ratio (UACR) — The Most Important Kidney Test for Diabetics
The UACR is the most sensitive available test for detecting early diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy). Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of kidney failure in India — and it is almost completely preventable if caught at the early stage. Here is why UACR matters more than standard creatinine testing for diabetics:
• Standard creatinine levels only rise after the kidneys have already lost 50 to 60% of their function
• UACR detects microscopic albumin (protein) leakage from the kidneys years before creatinine changes
• A UACR above 30 mg/g indicates microalbuminuria — early kidney damage that is still fully reversible with aggressive blood sugar and blood pressure control
• A UACR above 300 mg/g indicates macroalbuminuria — established nephropathy requiring immediate medical intervention
For any diabetic patient, the UACR is not optional — it is the single most important annual kidney test. The Special Sugar Package includes it as standard.

3. Heart Assessment — Diabetes and Heart Disease Are Inseparable
Diabetes doubles the risk of heart disease. Diabetics are more likely to have abnormal cholesterol patterns — specifically elevated Triglycerides and low HDL, a combination that drives atherosclerosis faster than high LDL alone. The Cholesterol Profile in the Special Sugar Package measures:
• LDL (bad cholesterol) — the primary driver of plaque build-up in arteries
• HDL (good cholesterol) — protective cholesterol that removes LDL. Low HDL is extremely common in Indian diabetics.
• VLDL — associated with Triglyceride-rich particles and metabolic syndrome
• Total Cholesterol — overall cardiovascular risk indicator
• Triglycerides — elevated in most Type 2 diabetics, especially those with poor dietary control
• Cholesterol Ratio — a more accurate cardiac risk predictor than any single value alone Monitoring cholesterol annually alongside blood sugar is essential for every diabetic. The two conditions must be managed together.

4. Kidney Assessment — Protecting What Diabetes Quietly Damages
Diabetes is the most common cause of kidney failure worldwide. Creatinine and Uric Acid together with the UACR provide a layered kidney assessment
• Creatinine measures overall kidney filtration efficiency — elevated levels indicate significant kidney damage already underway
• Uric Acid is elevated in many diabetics and is associated with gout, kidney stones, and metabolic syndrome — all conditions that worsen kidney function over time Combined with the UACR, the kidney panel in the Special Sugar Package gives diabetics the most important early warning available for nephropathy.

5. Liver Assessment — Fatty Liver and Diabetes Go Hand in Hand
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) coexists with Type 2 diabetes in over 70% of cases. SGPT (ALT) and SGOT (AST) are liver enzymes that rise when liver cells are damaged by fat accumulation. Monitoring them annually in diabetics is important because:
• Fatty liver worsens insulin resistance, making blood sugar harder to control
• Many diabetes medications, including metformin, require monitoring of liver enzymes
• Early fatty liver detected through elevated SGPT is fully reversible with dietary changes and exercise
• Unmonitored fatty liver progresses to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver failure in 10 to 15% of cases Annual liver enzyme monitoring is a standard recommendation for all diabetics and is included in the Special Sugar Package.
nnual liver enzyme monitoring is a standard recommendation for all diabetics and is included in the Special Sugar Package.
6. Thyroid Assessment — The Hidden Factor in Blood Sugar Control
Thyroid disorders and diabetes are strongly associated — hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is found in up to 30% of Type 2 diabetics. This is critical because
• Hypothyroidism worsens insulin resistance, making blood sugar harder to control
• It raises LDL cholesterol, compounding the cardiovascular risk diabetics already face
• It causes fatigue, weight gain, and depression — symptoms often attributed to diabetes itself
• Treating hypothyroidism can significantly improve both blood sugar control and cholesterol levels TSH screening in every diabetic’s annual check is strongly recommended by endocrinology guidelines — and is included in the Special Sugar Package.
7. Electrolytes — The Silent Risk in Diabetics on Medication
Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride monitoring is particularly important for diabetics because:
• Many diabetes medications (SGLT2 inhibitors, diuretics) affect electrolyte levels
• Diabetic kidney disease causes electrolyte imbalances that affect heart rhythm and muscle function
• Dehydration from high blood sugar leads to sodium imbalances
• Low potassium (hypokalaemia) is a common side effect of certain antihypertensive medications used alongside diabetes treatment
The Urine R/E in this package also adds a routine kidney and urinary infection screen that complements the UACR
8. Haemoglobin — Because Anaemia and Diabetes Often Coexist
Haemoglobin (Hb%) measurement is included because anaemia is significantly more common in diabetics, particularly in those with early kidney involvement. Anaemia in a diabetic patient also affects HbA1c accuracy — low haemoglobin can artificially lower HbA1c readings, causing the doctor and patient to underestimate actual blood sugar control. Knowing haemoglobin status alongside HbA1c gives the most accurate picture.

Important: Pre-diabetes is completely reversible with lifestyle changes alone. If your results show Blood Sugar Fasting between 100–125 mg/dL or HbA1c between 5.7%–6.4%, book an immediate consultation with your Apollo Clinic physician. Catching this at the pre-diabetes stage gives you a genuine opportunity to prevent Type 2 diabetes entirely.

The Special Sugar Package is the right starting point for any patient in Guwahati who is concerned about diabetes or is already managing it. The UACR is the test I emphasise most — it is the earliest warning system for kidney damage, and most patients have never had it done before they come to us. Finding early diabetic nephropathy at the microalbuminuria stage, when it is still reversible, is one of the most clinically significant things this package delivers.

Who Should Book the Special Sugar Package in Guwahati?
The Special Sugar Package is recommended for:
• Anyone above 30 with a family history of diabetes — especially if one or both parents have Type 2 diabetes
• People experiencing symptoms of diabetes: unusual thirst, frequent urination, unexplained fatigue, blurry vision, slow-healing wounds, or tingling in hands and feet
• Existing diabetics who need an annual monitoring of blood sugar, kidney health (UACR), liver, cholesterol, and thyroid
• Pre-diabetics who want to track whether their HbA1c is improving or worsening
• Women with PCOS or a history of gestational diabetes — both significantly increase diabetes risk
• Overweight or obese individuals above 25 years — abdominal obesity is the strongest modifiable diabetes risk factor
• People with high blood pressure or high cholesterol — both are strongly associated with insulin resistance • Anyone who wants an affordable, focused, clinically relevant diabetes health check at Apollo Clinic Dispur

How to Prepare for Your Special Sugar Package at Apollo Clinic Dispur
Follow these steps for accurate results across all tests:
• Fast for 8 to 10 hours before your appointment. Plain water is allowed throughout.
• Avoid tea, coffee, juice, milk, or any food during the fasting period
. • Continue your diabetes medications (metformin, insulin, etc.) as normal unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• The Blood Sugar PP (Post-Prandial) test requires you to eat a standard meal after your fasting tests. Apollo Clinic staff will guide you on the timing.
• Bring a valid photo ID and your current diabetes medication list if applicable.
• Bring any previous HbA1c or blood sugar reports to compare with your new results.
• The Special Sugar Package takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours including fasting tests, the PP blood draw after your meal, and report collection.

For existing diabetics: bring your glucose diary or recent blood sugar readings if you have them. This helps the Apollo Clinic physician give you more specific management advice during your report review.
