Dr. Farhana Rahman

Dr. Farhana Rahman is a Consultant Diabetologist and Endocrine Specialist at Universal Medical College & Hospital Ltd. in Dhaka. She completed MBBS from Dhaka and holds CCD from BIRDEM, along with PGP in Diabetology from New York, MPH from NIPSOM, DMU from Dhaka, and ADMS from Canada. Her work focuses on diabetes and metabolic health, including Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, gestational diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and different endocrine conditions. Some patients find out they have high blood sugar during a routine checkup. Others notice frequent urination, unusual thirst, tiredness, or changes in weight. Diabetes does not always cause clear symptoms in the beginning. That is why testing can matter.

Dr. Farhana Rahman also provides care related to thyroid, pituitary, hormonal, and other metabolic problems. Diabetes management may include blood glucose and HbA1c monitoring, medicines, food planning, physical activity, and regular follow-up. Pregnant women with gestational diabetes may need closer monitoring because blood sugar targets can change during pregnancy. People with prediabetes may also benefit from changes in eating habits, weight management, and activity before the condition progresses. Treatment is not exactly the same for every patient. Age, weight, other illnesses, medicines, and test results all matter. Patients may also need regular checks of their eyes, kidneys, blood pressure, and cholesterol when diabetes is long-standing. Dr. Farhana Rahman's training includes both local and international study. Her practice is based in Dhaka. Blood sugar is just a number on a report, but what happens around that number matters too.
