About Me
Hello, I’m Dr Imran Mughal, a UK-based GP with over 20 years of clinical experience. I qualified in 1999 and became a GP in 2008. My work has always centred on diabetes and metabolic health, and over time I have come to understand just how far-reaching the effects of metabolic dysfunction can be.
Diabetes and poor metabolic health do not just affect blood sugar. They disrupt the body’s hormonal balance in ways that are often overlooked. In men, this frequently shows up as low testosterone, affecting energy, mood, muscle strength, and sexual health. Many of my male patients had been struggling for years without anyone connecting the dots between their metabolic health and how they were feeling. Recognising that connection led me to develop a specialist interest in men’s health and testosterone replacement therapy, so I could offer a more complete picture of care.
Fatigue is another thread that runs through much of my work. My experience as part of the Lincolnshire Long COVID multidisciplinary team opened my eyes to just how complex fatigue can be. It is rarely one thing. Poor sleep, hormonal imbalance, blood sugar instability, mitochondrial dysfunction, and chronic low-grade inflammation can all play a role. Understanding fatigue in Long COVID patients taught me to ask better questions and look deeper, and I bring that same approach to every patient who comes to me feeling exhausted and without answers.
My path into functional medicine was shaped by my own health. For several years I struggled with a persistent health challenge that conventional medicine did not fully resolve. It was through exploring lifestyle, nutrition, and root-cause approaches that I found real improvement. That experience changed how I practise. I now combine the rigour of evidence-based GP medicine with the deeper enquiry of functional medicine, looking at the whole person rather than just the numbers.
Whether you are managing diabetes, dealing with unexplained fatigue, concerned about your testosterone levels, or simply not feeling like yourself, I am here to listen, investigate, and work with you on a plan that fits your life.
I look forward to being a partner in your health journey.

Why choose IM Clinic.
At IM Clinic, I provide personalised, patient-centred care with a strong focus on diabetes and metabolic health. My approach combines GP expertise with functional medicine, helping you uncover root causes rather than just treating symptoms.
Specialist Diabetes & Metabolic Focus
I bring years of GP experience with a strong focus on resistant diabetes, LADA, and cardiometabolic health.
Root-Cause Approach
I look beyond symptoms and numbers to address the underlying drivers of your health challenges.
GP Expertise Combined with Functional Medicine
Safe, evidence-based care that brings together the best of conventional medicine and functional insights.
Long COVID Expertise
I have been part of the Long COVID team in Lincolnshire, supporting patients with a wide range of post-COVID symptoms. Fatigue has been the most common, and my experience has shown how closely energy regulation, mitochondrial function, and metabolic balance are linked.
Just as fatigue in Long COVID often arises from deeper imbalances, diabetes and metabolic health also require looking beyond the numbers to understand the whole picture.
Thyroid & Autoimmunity
I have a special interest in hypothyroidism, autoimmune diabetes, and broader autoimmune conditions, with a functional approach to uncovering triggers and supporting long-term balance.
Men’s Health
I have experience managing chronic prostatitis, recurrent UTIs, and functional approaches to low testosterone, fatigue, and wellbeing.
Personalised, Collaborative Plans
Together we agree on strategies that fit your life, not one-size-fits-all solutions.
Accessible & Supportive
Flexible online consultations, ongoing support, and a focus on long-term results.
