Diabetes

Doctors' General Clinic in Athens, has a well-equipped Diabetology Clinic, while it collaborates with specialists in pathology - diabetologists with high scientific training and experience, for the treatment of this "insidious" disease of our time.

Diabetic foot is a serious complication of diabetes that is estimated to affect about 25% of diabetics. Diabetes mellitus affects the small and large blood vessels of the body and can lead to peripheral neuropathy, a condition that makes the diabetic patient's feet less sensitive to pain and irritation, resulting in the patient not feeling foot injuries in time, which has devastating consequences. Lower limb amputations are 15 times more common in diabetic patients than non-diabetic patients, and diabetic lower limb ulcers are the most common cause of diabetic hospitalisation. Prevention is the best way to guard against this serious complication of diabetes and Doctors' General Clinic is a guarantee of effective treatment.
