The diabetes clinic at Centro Medico Santagostino is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of diabete mellitus, an alteration of the metabolism of carbohydrates characterized by a chronic increase in blood sugar.
The clinic offers care for patients over the age of 18 with type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) who are at risk of developing diabetes.
It is very important that the diagnosis is made promptly, especially for those with risk factors, in order to minimize the complications associated with chronic hyperglycemia (vascular, cardiac, neurological, eye, kidney, and sexual complications).
Personalized diets are prescribed for the treatment of the disease and, in collaboration with other specialists at our center, any complications associated with the diabetes are evaluated and treated.
