Optimum care for Diabetes

Optimum care for Diabetes

As a certified diabetes center of the German Diabetes Society, you are in the best hands with us. With new therapeutic possibilities from medicine and research as well as numerous supporting offers, we help you to get diabetes under control permanently.

There has been major progress in the diagnosis and therapy of diabetes mellitus. Many people affected know about their diabetes disease. However, there are still many people who do not know that they suffer from diabetes. In most cases, the disease is initially barely noticeable, although it damages nerves, vessels and organs from the outset. All the more important is a timely and permanent regulation of the sugar metabolism.

Managing life with diabetes

In case of a new diabetes illness, an inpatient admission for training and blood sugar adjustment is usually necessary. Blood lipid and blood pressure values also play an important role in the success of the therapy and are also monitored and adjusted.
There are various forms of insulin therapy available, in which different types of insulin are used. Depending on the duration of your diabetes, your personal needs and abilities as well as your professional circumstances, we will find the most suitable form of therapy for you. We offer adjustment with the help of tablets, insulin syringes or an insulin pump.

Individually adapted training courses

In order to continue the therapy at home, you will receive comprehensive training: You will understand what is going wrong in your body, how to measure your blood sugar and how to take or inject insulin. A favourable diet and plenty of exercise form the basis of therapy for almost all forms of type 2 diabetes and are the focus of our nutritional advice.
Further care is provided in close cooperation with your family doctor or your diabetologist. In addition, our diabetic foot outpatient clinic enables regular therapy monitoring for problems with the feet.
If you have any questions about diabetes, we are always at your disposal.
