Diabetes and Cardiac Care

Specialist family medicine management of diabetes and cardiovascular risk in Abuja. Structured reviews, optimised medications, and long-term monitoring — so your heart and metabolic health stay on track.

Overview

Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are the two most common non-communicable diseases affecting Nigerians — and they are deeply intertwined. Type 2 diabetes doubles cardiovascular risk; hypertension accelerates diabetic kidney disease; obesity drives both. Treating them in isolation misses the most important opportunities for risk reduction.

At SoulPlace Surgery, our physicians provide structured, evidence-based management of both conditions under one roof. We follow ADA, ACC/AHA, and WHO guidelines, adapting them to the medication landscape and health-seeking patterns of our Abuja patient population. Our goal is to help you achieve well-controlled disease with minimal complications — and an excellent quality of life.

Regular, structured reviews are the foundation of good chronic disease management. We set up recall systems so nothing is missed and your management plan evolves as your health does.

What this page covers

Diabetes reviews

HbA1c-guided diabetes management for Type 1 and Type 2. We prescribe and optimise insulin regimens, oral agents (metformin, sulfonylureas, SGLT-2 inhibitors, DPP-4 inhibitors), and GLP-1 receptor agonists. Structured annual reviews include HbA1c, kidney function, urine albumin-creatinine ratio, eye and foot examination referrals, and cardiovascular risk assessment.

Cardiac risk

Hypertension affects approximately 30% of Nigerian adults, with low awareness and control rates. We provide target-based blood pressure management using first-line agents (ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, thiazide diuretics), lipid lowering with statins, and 10-year cardiovascular risk calculation to guide treatment intensity. ECG, echocardiogram, and stress test ordering where clinically indicated.

Care plans

We build documented care plans that set HbA1c, blood pressure, and lipid targets tailored to your age, risk profile, and comorbidities. Six-monthly and annual review calendars ensure no investigations or referrals are missed. We coordinate between the practice and any external endocrinologist, cardiologist, nephrologist, or ophthalmologist involved in your care.
