Visiting Our Diabetologists for Prediabetes or Any Form of Diagnosed Diabetes

If you have prediabetes or any form of diagnosed diabetes, it is advisable to consult our diabetologists. They can assess general internal medical and metabolic conditions to determine whether lifestyle and dietary changes are sufficient or if additional treatment is required. According to professional guidelines, annual oral glucose tolerance tests are recommended for confirmed prediabetes. Studies show that reducing body weight by 5–7% in such cases can decrease the risk of developing diabetes by 50–60%. Early lifestyle modifications—such as a personalized, carbohydrate-controlled diet, regular physical activity, and stress management—can help avoid medication or insulin therapy. Dietitians can assist with dietary adjustments, and diabetes educators provide extensive knowledge to those interested in preventing diabetes.

Comprehensive Diabetes Care at Our Diabetes Center

For confirmed diabetes, we provide full guidance and training in the independent and professional use of insulin pens, insulin pumps, glucose meters, and continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS). Our center has extensive expertise in using CGMS devices, including their acquisition and application. This expertise enables us to help patients achieve blood glucose levels clinically comparable to individuals with healthy metabolism, significantly improving quality of life and minimizing complications.

Our team of clinical specialists, dietitians, and educators work collaboratively to create individualized dietary plans and ensure optimal glucose control (targeting a HbA1c level close to the healthy 6%). Using state-of-the-art tele-diabetology and innovative diabetes technologies, we provide exceptional care based on the latest European and American guidelines. As a result, Újszeged Health Center - Diabetes Center is an accredited provider of the Hungarian Diabetes Association.

Regular Follow-Up and Support

Patients under diabetes care are advised to schedule regular check-ups every 3–6 months, offered at discounted rates.

Our clinic provides access to the latest diabetes management tools available in Hungary, including glucose meters and test strips, at prices significantly lower than pharmacy rates. We also assist with acquiring CGMS devices, which have been heavily subsidized for type 1 diabetes patients since January 1, 2020, making their monthly cost comparable to that of test strips.

We recommend sensors for all diabetes patients, supported by numerous scientific findings. For more information, visit our "Innovative Diabetes" section or check out our latest news and updates.
