Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels. The hormone responsible for the proper regulation of blood sugar is insulin, which is secreted by the pancreas.
Insufficient insulin secretion, often combined with tissue resistance to its action, leads to the development of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Diabetes mellitus has become a metabolic epidemic of the 21st century. In Greece, it is estimated that 12% of the general population have diabetes.
At the Type 2 Diabetes Clinic, the disease is diagnosed early, and appropriate therapeutic management is provided according to the latest clinical guidelines. Patients are approached holistically, with a primary focus on controlling diabetes and preventing the occurrence of potential complications.
