Medicine that sees the bigger picture
About Dr. Bhaduri
Diabetes rarely arrives alone. It travels with the heart, the kidneys, the liver, weight and hormones — and it is best treated by a physician who is trained to read all of them together.
Dr. Gaurab Bhaduri is a Consultant in the Department of Diabetes & Endocrinology with more than fifteen years of clinical, research and teaching experience. He holds an MD in Internal Medicine and advanced postgraduate qualifications from the Royal College of Physicians, UK — the Specialty Certificate Examination in Endocrinology & Diabetes, a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Endocrinology & Diabetes, and a Certification in Diabetes Management — complemented by SCOPE certification in Obesity Management from the World Obesity Federation.
That grounding in internal medicine shapes how he practises: glucose is never treated in isolation, but as one signal within a wider metabolic picture.

Seven areas of focused practice
Areas of Expertise
Conditions across diabetes, endocrine and metabolic medicine — assessed together rather than as separate problems, and managed with current evidence.
01
Diabetes Care
Assessment and long-term management of type 2 diabetes, with attention to complications, treatment escalation and the cardio-renal consequences of poor control.
02
Endocrinology
Hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and bone and calcium disorders — the endocrine problems that most reward careful diagnosis and long-term review.
03
Obesity & Metabolic Health
Structured medical management of obesity, including GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual incretin therapies — with SCOPE certification from the World Obesity Federation.
04
Women's Metabolic Health
Endocrine aspects of obesity and women's health, including reproductive and metabolic outcomes and gestational diabetes — an area of ongoing research and international faculty work.
05
Cardio-Renal-Metabolic Health
The interrelationship between diabetes, the heart and the kidneys — slowing kidney disease progression and translating cardiovascular outcome trial evidence into practice.
06
MASLD & Metabolic Liver Health
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and its intersection with diabetes, dyslipidaemia and chronic kidney disease — a principal research theme.
07
Technology & AI in Diabetes
Research and teaching on artificial intelligence and digital health tools in optimising diabetes care, clinical decision support and mobile health applications.
Dr. Bhaduri Approach
Clinical Philosophy
Science first. Individual always.
Four commitments that shape every consultation.
01
Evidence, then judgement
Treatment decisions begin with current trial evidence — and then account for the person in front of you: their kidneys, their heart, their budget, their life.
02
The whole metabolic picture
Glucose, weight, lipids, liver, kidney function and blood pressure are read together. Managing one while ignoring the others is how long-term risk accumulates.
03
Understanding you can use
A patient who understands why a medicine is prescribed takes it. Explanation is treated as part of the treatment, not an optional extra at the end.
04
Technology in service of care
Continuous glucose monitoring, digital tools and AI-assisted decision support are useful when they sharpen clinical judgement — never as a substitute for it.
Where clinical practice meets current evidence
Specialist Areas
Select an area to see what it covers in practice.
Diabetes
Long-term management of type 2 diabetes — from first diagnosis through treatment escalation, complication screening and the prevention of cardio-renal decline.
- Type 2 diabetes assessment and long-term management
- Glycaemic control and treatment escalation
- Screening and management of diabetes complications
- Newer-generation insulins and insulin initiation
- Symptomatic diabetic neuropathy
- Diabetes in older adults and peri-operative care
Obesity
Obesity managed as a medical condition — with structured assessment, pharmacological options where appropriate, and honest expectations about what each achieves.
- Clinical evaluation of obesity beyond the BMI figure
- GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual incretin therapies
- Combination approaches in type 2 diabetes with obesity
- Recognising the limits of lifestyle therapy alone
- Peri-operative optimisation in morbid obesity
- Sleep dysregulation and its role in weight gain
Endocrinology
Thyroid function, and the chemistry of bone — assessed with attention to what the test result actually means for this patient, not just whether it sits outside a reference range.
- Hypothyroidism: diagnosis, replacement and long-term review
- Hyperthyroidism: investigation and management
- Bone & calcium: metabolic bone disease and calcium regulation
- Vitamin D deficiency, including in patients with diabetes
Metabolic Health
The cardio-renal-metabolic axis treated as a single system — because the heart, kidneys and metabolism fail together, and can be protected together.
- Cardio-renal-metabolic risk assessment
- Slowing kidney disease progression in type 2 diabetes
- Nephropathy beyond albuminuria
- Dyslipidaemia and lipid management in diabetes
- Translating cardiovascular outcome trial evidence into practice
- Herpes zoster risk and prevention in diabetes
Women's Health
Endocrine and metabolic conditions as they present in women — an area of active research and international faculty work.
- Endocrine aspects of obesity in women
- Reproductive and metabolic outcomes
- Whether women respond differently to GLP-1-based therapies
- Gestational diabetes screening and management
- Managing inconsistent readings in gestational diabetes
- Obesity, stigma and its impact on women's health
MASLD
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease — the liver's role in metabolic disease, and where it intersects with diabetes and kidney health.
- MASLD assessment in patients with type 2 diabetes
- Dyslipidaemia and liver enzymes in diabetes with CKD
- Role of saroglitazar in MASLD
- SGLT2 inhibitors in metabolic liver disease
- Gut microbiota-derived metabolites in MASLD progression
- The mitochondrial-autophagy axis in MASLD
Diabetes Technology
Continuous glucose monitoring and smart devices, used where they change decisions rather than simply generate data.
- Continuous glucose monitoring and interpretation
- Smart insulin devices
- Facilitating self-monitoring through integrated systems
- Point-of-care testing in routine diabetes review
- Mobile health applications for weight management
- Choosing technology appropriate to the patient
AI & Digital Health
An active research and teaching interest in how artificial intelligence and digital tools can support — not replace — clinical decision-making in diabetes.
- Artificial intelligence in diabetes care
- Clinical decision support systems
- Digital health tools in routine practice
- Mobile health applications for type 2 diabetes remission
- Efficacy, regulation and ethical implementation
- Faculty: AI in Diabetes workshops and international summits

Patient Experience
Reviews published on Google by people Dr. Bhaduri has treated.
Dr. Bhaduri is an excellent doctor and above all a great human being. He is very approachable… he was a constant rock solid support in managing my diabetes during my pregnancy.
Excellent doctor. He listens to patient very patiently and takes care all the needs. After visiting him my mother sugar levels have been well maintained over many years. Highly recommended!!
My father has been sir's patient for quite a few number of years now. We are immensely satisfied with the quality of care, sir's behaviour and patient interaction. Sir has always been available whenever we needed his help. I would highly recommend him with no questions asked.
I am a regular visitor to Dr Gaurab Bhaduri in Apollo Clinic Galleria Newtown since last several years and I simply find him extremely efficient as a doctor. He listens to me patiently without hurry, is straightforward in giving feedback without mincing any word and he records each and everything always on his laptop so he has the years history always in his front.
It has been a privilege to have doctor Gaurab Bhaduri. My parents and in-laws are under his treatment. We got very good result in reducing sugar level. Doctor is very much polite and empathetic. Connects with patients and listens to their problem and sufferings.
I am proud to be a patient of Dr. Gaurab Bhaduri… Dr. Bhaduri has the patience to listen to his patient, make them understand the reasons for the illness, encourages the patients who has lost hope in life like me.
Dr Gaurab Bhaduri is that person whom I can trust for my family's medical problems. His diagnosis is commendable.
Very efficient doctor — attends to the problems patiently and explains his treatment plans very nicely to the patients.
Best consultant I have ever met. If you can follow his instructions you will recover most of the illness before time. A very soft spoken, kindhearted, understanding doctor.
