How it works

Introducing ECAL

(your lifestyle team just got hands on the coolest tech)

ECAL is a clinical device that measures your resting metabolism and fuel usage (carbs vs. fat) through indirect calorimetry and provides detailed insights into how your body burns energy, helping identify metabolic roadblocks to weight loss and glucose control.

Why it matters:

Personalizes lifestyle plans based on your unique metabolism, improving blood sugar management

Detects metabolic inefficiencies that may impact insulin sensitivity and glucose control

Supports therapy decisions, especially alongside medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists

Provides clear, AI-generated reports that guide smarter, evidence-based lifestyle interventions

Reduces guesswork making your coaching more targeted and effective

Enhances patient engagement by visually showing metabolic progress and responses to treatment

Early detection of cognitive decline

(type 3 diabetes)

GluCare is the first healthcare provider globally to offer the p-Tau217 blood test as a standard screening tool for high-risk patients, including those with diabetes and metabolic syndrome. p-Tau217 is the most accurate blood-based biomarker for early Alzheimer’s detection, with performance comparable to PET scans but through a simple, quick blood draw.

This screening is integrated into every high-risk patient’s journey, enabling us to detect brain changes early, intervene sooner, and support long-term cognitive health.

The screening is:

Seamless: Performed during routine visits for diabetics and metabolically high-risk patients

Predictive: Identifies Alzheimer’s-related changes years before symptoms appear

Actionable: Results are reviewed by your physician and paired with lifestyle-focused care through our hybrid program

Ongoing: Annual testing for stable patients, more frequent for those with elevated markers

By combining p-Tau217 with continuous digital monitoring, sleep, stress, glucose, activity, we bring brain health into metabolic care, ensuring Alzheimer’s prevention becomes proactive rather than reactive.

AI-powered muscle scan for muscle-quality
data without a biopsy

Our point-of-care AI muscle scan provides rapid, non-invasive insights into muscle health, a critical factor in managing diabetes and prediabetes. By measuring muscle mass and quality, clinicians can detect malnutrition, sarcopenia, or frailty early, guiding more effective care.

Why it matters:

Supports glucose control:
Healthy muscle improves insulin sensitivity

Prevents complications:
Early detection reduces frailty, falls, and hospitalizations

Informs treatment:
Personalized nutrition and exercise plans based on objective data

Tracks progress:
Monitor improvements or declines over time to adjust care

Integrating AI muscle scans into routine diabetes care gives clinicians a complete picture of patient health way beyond glucose readings and the traditional model of care.

Smart resistance training, integrated into your diabetes care plan

Designed to preserve muscle, improve insulin sensitivity, and protect metabolic health while you lose weight

Automatically calibrated resistance

Sets the safest, most effective load for your current strength, glucose control, and fatigue levels

Adaptive resistance to protect lean muscle

Maintains muscle stimulus during weight loss preventing the muscle loss commonly seen with diabetes and GLP-1 therapy

Fatigue-responsive drop sets

Resistance adjusts as you tire, ensuring consistent muscle engagement without spikes in strain or blood sugar stress

Clinically intelligent training modes

Eccentric and variable resistance improve muscle quality, glucose uptake, and strength even at lower joint stress

Real-time form and safety tracking

Monitors movement quality to reduce injury risk and support safe training for neuropathy, joint issues, or deconditioning

Post-workout metabolic insights

Training data feeds back into your personalized diabetes plan, helping refine nutrition, medication timing, and exercise dose

All-in-one tech hub for all
diabetes-related complications

The silent impact: diabetes and men’s sexual health

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a common but often overlooked complication of diabetes, with over 50% of diabetic men experiencing some degree of ED. High blood sugar can damage the nerves and narrow the blood vessels that supply the penis – two key factors in achieving natural erections. ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy) targets the root cause by improving blood flow and vascular health, helping you regain confidence and control.

Diabetes-related eye
conditions

Prolonged high glucose, insulin imbalance, and metabolic dysfunction weaken delicate blood vessels, leading to retinopathy, cataracts, glaucoma, and even vision loss. Often symptoms like blurred vision, floaters, or eye pain appear only when damage is advanced. Our advanced retinal scanning technology detects these changes early giving patients the chance to protect their vision before permanent damage occurs.

Diabetic Kidney Disease

At GluCare, we are the first in the region to offer the uPTM-FetA test for early detection of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Unlike traditional markers that only pick up damage once it’s advanced, uPTM can detect kidney function decline years earlier giving preventive therapies a real chance to work. Integrated into our standard diabetes care package, every patient benefits from this breakthrough, with sensitivity on par with conventional tools but the unique advantage of catching disease before it’s too late.

Why it matters:

By combining UPTM with continuous digital monitoring, GluCare makes DKD prevention proactive, not reactive,  helping preserve kidney health long before damage becomes irreversible.

I have consulted Glu care for my son and it was so amazing to connect with Zone Health team. The entire process with thorough guidance and absolute transparency was shared with us. They explained every minute details about the plan, medication, etc., which gave us lot of confidence to go with the treatment plan. I must say it’s very genuine and fabulous team of doctors and support staff including Zone Health team specially Sara with whom we interacted.

FAQ

What is the best doctor to see for diabetes?

The best doctor to see for diabetes is a diabetologist, an expert in diagnosing and managing diabetes. At GluCare’s diabetes clinic in Dubai, our diabetes specialists provide personalized treatment plans based on your condition and health goals.
