Type 2 diabetes
The basics of modern type 2 diabetes therapy
Your individual treatment goal is set on the basis of several criteria. We work that goal out together with you, after a medical consultation.
It is not only laboratory values that count: your age, other conditions, your job and your daily life all shape the decision, as do your own goals.
Pregnancy
Gestational diabetes
Gestational diabetes is one of the most common complications during pregnancy. We support you during this time and beyond.
Treatment takes place in close coordination with your gynaecologist. To confirm the diagnosis we carry out an oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT) with 75 grams of glucose under standardised conditions – you must be fasting for this test.
Prevention
Treating secondary conditions
So that secondary conditions do not arise in the first place, we keep a constant eye on your blood sugar and regularly examine the organs most at risk using specialised diagnostic methods.
- 24-hour blood pressure monitoring
- Examination of your feet
- Exercise testing
- Checks of eyes, kidneys and nerves
Specialised
Wound centre Dortmund
Chronic wounds and the diabetic foot call for particular experience. Together with the WundZentrum Dortmund and our partner hospitals we ensure specialised care.
In the case of severe complications we refer you to the foot clinics of our cooperation partners; orthopaedic footwear is arranged directly with the medical supply stores.
Your health
What you can do
You have diabetes. But there is a great deal you can do to feel better and healthier – and to slow the condition down.
Slowing the condition down
Self-management
Our task is to make you the manager of your own condition. In our courses we teach you:
Prevention
Check-up programme
Many conditions develop slowly and unnoticed. Take precautions in good time – ideally once a year – and have a thorough check-up.
Metabolic check-up
- Risk profile analysis for diabetes mellitus
- Early detection of impaired glucose tolerance
- Early detection of manifest diabetes mellitus
Cardiovascular check-up
- Risk profile analysis for arteriosclerosis
- Circulatory problems and thrombosis
- Prevention of heart attack and stroke
The programme includes
- A detailed medical history
- Ultrasound of the upper and lower abdomen
- Cardiovascular examination with exercise ECG
- Laboratory tests of blood and urine samples
- Final findings and personal consultation
Our philosophy
Self-management: we make you the expert on your own condition
Our aim is to give you the knowledge you need to stay independent and not to rely on outside help in the future.
We teach the necessary self-management skills in our courses or in individual consultations – always tailored to your situation.
