Diabetology consultation

 

Diabetology is the branch of medicine that deals with the chronic disorder of body's sugar metabolism, namely diabetes and its complications.

Diabetes is caused by a lack of a hormone called insulin produced by the pancreas (this is diabetes) or by the body’s insensitivity to insulin (this is insulin resistance). In some cases both can coexist. Due to insulin deficiency, cells are unable to absorb glucose, which raises circulating blood sugar levels.

It is important to understand that diabetes is a chronic condition with serious systemic complications if adequate and timely medical treatment is not implemented. Patients should also be aware of related conditions such as prediabetes (i.e., a pre-diabetic condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal) and gestational diabetes both of which also require medical attention. 

 

This is what happens at the diabetology examination

 

During the diabetology consultation, our diabetology specialist will ask you in detail about your lifestyle and eating habits. Our specialist will assess your family history as well as your other comorbidities. You also have to disclose your regular medication and non-prescriptive preparations. This will be followed by a physical examination to help make a diagnosis and assess complications in case of an already diagnosed disease.

Our diabetology specialist will then direct you to further tests, namely laboratory tests and imaging tests as required. If you already have comorbidities, additional specialist examinations may be recommended.

 

Based on the recording of the data and your examination, our specialist will set up a current diagnosis and compiles the treatment plan, makes recommendations for medication, meals and, if necessary, lifestyle changes.
