Diabetology
Why choose us?

Diabetes Mellitus is a disease that needs proper regulation. The proper regulation of Diabetes Mellitus requires regular visits to the diabetologist, excellent communication between the doctor and the patient and active participation of the patient in its treatment. In the Diabetology Clinic, in addition to the above, we provide holistic treatment of the disease, emphasizing not only on the regulation of sugar, but also on the body parts and organs that are at risk because of long-term Diabetes Mellitus. The Clinic operates in direct cooperation with all departments of the Clinic that contribute to the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus. Thus, the patient has direct access to care and high quality health services.

Body weight control is very important in the prevention and diagnosis of diabetes

Why is patient education so important?

Diabetes Mellitus is not a disease that is cured with an operation or with a week-long medication. It is a chronic metabolic disease that requires the persistent and daily intervention of patients themselves. Patients must be informed about the disease and be trained on their treatment. They must also be cooperative and comply with the instructions of the specialist diabetologist. When patients are educated and trained, dozens of problems related to the course of the disease and its complications are automatically solved. For this reason, therefore, patient education is of primary importance for the positive outcome of Diabetes Mellitus. 

The patient has the obligation to be informed about the disease and to be trained on its treatment.


Educating the patient in the prevention, identification and treatment of hypoglycaemia

Hypoglycaemia is the main limiting factor in the proper regulation of diabetes. The Clinic also trains the patient and his/her carers in unacknowledged hypoglycaemia, that is, the one that occurs without classical symptoms and that can quickly lead to hypoglycaemic coma, if not treated.

Regular ophthalmological examination in patients with Diabetes Mellitus

In collaboration with the fully equipped Ophthalmology Department, a regular ophthalmological examination and early diagnosis and treatment of all the lesions that diabetes can cause in the various parts of the human eye are carried out.

Complete control of the cardiovascular system 

There is also the possibility of complete and regular control of the cardiovascular system, depending on the case, with innovative bloodless methods and in collaboration with the various laboratories of the Clinic:
