Dr. Mohan Y Badgandi

Dr. Mohan Y Badgandi is Consultant - Diabetes & Endocrinology at Manipal Hospital, Old Airport Road, Bengaluru, with 48 years of experience. His qualifications include MBBS, MD, MRCP and FRCP, and his practice covers a broad range of adult endocrine and metabolic disorders.

His clinical focus includes type 1 and type 2 diabetes, thyroid and parathyroid disease, osteoporosis, lipid disorders and hormonal conditions. Manipal also lists management of diabetes during pregnancy, growth-related problems, endocrine-gland cancers, hypertension associated with metabolic disease and infertility linked to hormonal imbalance.

Dr. Badgandi works with patients who may need long-term medication adjustment, insulin therapy, insulin pumps or evaluation of complex endocrine symptoms. He speaks English, Hindi, Gujarati and Arabic. For diabetes, treatment is based on glucose patterns, HbA1c, kidney and cardiovascular risk, weight, current medicines and the presence of complications rather than on a single laboratory value.

For an endocrine consultation, useful records include recent glucose and HbA1c results, thyroid tests, lipid profile, calcium and vitamin-D studies where relevant, bone-density scans and a complete medication list.

Patients using insulin should also bring glucose-monitoring or continuous-glucose-monitoring data if available. Management may involve medication changes, nutritional and activity planning, further hormonal testing or imaging depending on the diagnosis. Endocrine cancers, severe osteoporosis and complicated pregnancy-related endocrine disorders may require coordinated care with other specialists.

Long-term follow-up is particularly important when several endocrine disorders or diabetes complications coexist.
