Diabetology

Available inSan Vito al Tagliamento

The diabetology clinic is aimed in particular at patients with diabetes or at risk of it, to assess the disease correctly and provide a behavioural and pharmacological treatment approach.

Diabetes consultations are open both to patients with already diagnosed Diabetes Mellitus and to patients at risk (for example, due to family history): the diabetologist assesses the condition and proposes a complete treatment approach.

The clinic also offers support with nutritional education, to help you follow the diet best suited to your case, together with guidance on a personalised exercise programme.

The diabetology clinic is also the point of reference for patients who have been treated for diabetes for years and have difficulty achieving good metabolic control.

We also deal with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of patients with diabetic foot.

People with diabetes are treated with a multidisciplinary approach, made possible by the presence of several specialists at POLISMedica: diabetologist, angiologist and vascular surgeon, cardiologist, orthopaedic specialist, urologist.

We also work closely with the ophthalmologist for diabetic retinopathy, and with the endocrinologist.
