Diabetology

Consultations for diabetes or raised blood glucose. Tell us whether you need an initial assessment or ongoing care.

Diabetes care

Diabetology addresses raised blood glucose and diabetes care. It helps establish treatment, monitor its effects and prevent long-term complications.

The doctor reviews laboratory results, HbA1c, current treatment and home glucose records. They discuss glucose fluctuations and your daily routine, then adjust the monitoring, treatment and follow-up plan as needed. A single home reading does not establish a diabetes diagnosis.

OpenMedical coordinates the booking and tells you which results and reports to bring. We check options involving sensors or pumps and coordination during pregnancy individually, along with costs and payment arrangements.

What you can discuss with the specialist

  • Raised glucose or newly diagnosed diabetes
  • A review of treatment for type 1 or type 2 diabetes
  • Recurring glucose fluctuations or low glucose episodes
  • Diabetes during pregnancy, with appropriate coordinated care

Preparation and important information for your visit

  • Bring laboratory results and a medication list with doses
  • Prepare glucose or sensor records and questions about treatment
  • Mention treatment changes and pregnancy; confirm medication and test instructions with the clinic
  • Call 155 for unconsciousness, seizures or severe deterioration

Frequently asked questions

About the consultation and planning your visit.

Does one high reading confirm diabetes?+

Not always. The type of sample and other results matter. Home readings alone do not confirm a diagnosis; a doctor recommends the necessary laboratory tests.

Is HbA1c the same as fasting glucose?+

No. Blood glucose shows the level at that moment; HbA1c reflects a longer period. The tests therefore complement each other.

Can I discuss treatment involving a sensor or pump?+

Mention your device and consultation needs beforehand. We check the clinic’s scope; prescription or funding cannot be guaranteed without individual assessment.

What if I need diabetes care during pregnancy?+

Mention pregnancy and your gynaecologist’s advice when booking. Gestational and pre-existing diabetes require appropriate care, rather than an automatic routine follow-up appointment.

How do I book and what are the visit requirements?+

Send the reason for your visit and the patient’s age. Before confirming, we check availability, price, referral requirements and any insurance coverage.
