Doctor Profile
Dr. Amutha Lakshmanachary
General Medicine
Dr. Amutha Lakshmanacharya is a General Practioner with specialist training in Family Medicine and Diabetology at Aster Clinic Al Muteena. Her key interest includes empowering patients with Diabetes Mellitus to manage their disease through appropriate, client oriented lifestyle modification and medication.
Her interest in family medicine was generated after exposure to multiple specialties during the immediate post MBBS period. Practicing family medicine made her aware of the huge burden of disease related to diabetes and prompted the further study in the discipline. As a practitioner of Diabetology, she has learnt that patient empowerment through appropriate education and using guideline-based goal-directed therapy offers the best chance of controlling the disease and limiting its complications.

Detailed Profile
The growing epidemic of Diabetes that threatens to undo the gains in longevity and morbidity reduction served as a stimulus for Dr. Amutha to branch out from family Medicine into the field of diabetes management. A sound foundation in family Medicine helped her understand chronic disease management principles which involved both the patient and their families. Empowering patients to make appropriate lifestyle choices, educating them and their families about disease self-management and using guidelines-directed medical therapy to reduce macro and microvascular and organ damage are among the key interests in her practice. Her other interests include music, painting, books and taekwondo in which she holds a brown belt.
