Diagnosis and monitoring of type 1 & 2 diabetes mellitus
Proper diagnosis and regular monitoring of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus are essential to avoid complications and maintain good health. Through modern diagnostic methods and personalised care, effective control of glucose levels and improvement of the patient’s quality of life can be achieved.
Assessment and management of prediabetes
Prediabetes is an early stage of metabolic dysfunction and can develop into type 2 diabetes if not treated in time. With expert testing, nutritional interventions and lifestyle changes, we help patients bring glucose levels back to normal and prevent the disease.
Regulation of medication for diabetes
Appropriate medication plays a key role in the management of diabetes. Depending on the needs of each patient, an individualised treatment regimen is suggested, which may include tablets, insulin or newer pharmaceutical preparations. Continuous monitoring ensures optimal response to treatment.
Nutritional support and guidance
Diet is the cornerstone of diabetes control. Through collaboration with expert dietitians, targeted dietary guidelines are provided to help control blood sugar levels, maintain a healthy weight and improve overall health, without deprivation but with balance and sustainability.
Management of gestational diabetes
Gestational diabetes requires immediate and careful treatment to protect both the mother and the fetus. Through systematic monitoring, personalised nutrition and, if necessary, medication, we ensure a safe pregnancy and reduce the risk of future complications.
