The medical team of the department provides a high level of medical care, and also supports patients at all stages of treatment. The chief physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med.

Thanks to the development of new drugs and methods of therapy, more accurate laboratory studies, there are many new options for the treatment of diabetes today. The department offers differentiated therapy, which adapts to the individual life situation of the patient. In addition to long-term care for patients suffering from diabetes, the department carries out a special diagnostic program, through which doctors effectively identify diabetes, the causes of its development and other endocrine disorders. This diagnostics covers the check of blood sugar level, insulin secretion and insulin resistance, assessment of the risks of the development of concomitant diseases (heart, vessels, kidneys, nerves, etc.), and also check for the presence of concomitant endocrine disorders.

Therapeutic options cover not only medical treatment and proper lifestyle, but also the latest technical methods (for example, daily monitoring of glucose level, insulin pump) and transplantation of autologous stem cells.

The survey covers a variety of laboratory tests and an optional study of the intestinal microbiome, as a violation of the composition of intestinal bacteria plays an important role in the development of diabetes mellitus. After receiving all the diagnostic results, the doctor tells the patient about preventive measures.
