Diabetes mellitus (diabetes) is a chronic metabolic disorder that requires lifelong medical care. In Austria, around 600,000 people suffer from diabetes. A distinction is made between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as gestational diabetes .

Type 2 diabetes is by far the most common and is usually the result of morbid obesity. The cause is insulin resistance, where a weakened insulin effect means that less sugar is absorbed into the cells and remains in the blood (hyperglycemia). The right treatment reduces the risk of diabetes-related late complications such as heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, damage to the retina or the nervous system. The various treatment options for type 2 diabetes have increased significantly in recent years and enable effective treatment with few side effects. I would be happy to advise you on a treatment tailored to your needs, taking into account your concomitant diseases and an optimal quality of life.
