FAQ about Diabetes type 2 Treatment in Israel

What is type 2 diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes (also called adult-onset or non-insulin-dependent) is a longstanding metabolic disorder. The body resists or doesn’t produce enough insulin to maintain glucose (sugar) level in blood.

The low costs are explained by generics (analogs of expensive drugs) production in India. These medications are 10-17 times cheaper than the drugs used in other states.

Spain

Spain is the 7th country in the world to provide high-quality medical services according to World Health Organization (WHO). Spanish diabetic health clinics are among a few medical facilities worldwide where surgeons perform weight loss operation without a scalp.

92% of patients lose weight significantly after the surgical treatment of diabetes. Spanish doctors prefer complex approach in the disease treatment. Beside the surgery, specialists carry out diet therapy, patient’s hormones exam, drug therapy, psychological support, etc.

✔️ Drug therapy cannot cure diabetes. Medications help to control blood sugar and stop the disease development.

How to choose the diabetes treatment center?

  • Random blood sugar test is a blood glucose level exam performed for non-fasting people to diagnose diabetes. The test can be taken at any time.
  • Fasting blood sugar test is taken after an overnight fast to detect insulin resistance or diabetes.
  • Glucose tolerance test is an oral exam that measures body's ability to regulate sugar metabolism.

Which treatment is the best for diabetes?

Medication and insulin therapy

Specialists of diabetes outpatient clinics prescribe drug therapy in addition to diet and physical activity. Such complex approach helps patients to achieve target blood sugar level. The conclusion about the type of medication depends on the sugar level and the presence of diabetes-related problems.

In some cases, specialists in diabetes treatment centers prescribe insulin therapy. Using this treatment method a patient controls blood glucose level and can avoid complications of the disease. Patients have to inject insulin. They shouldn’t take it orally, because it can be digested.

During the consultation with an endocrinologist, the pros and cons of each medication are discussed. The best treatment for diabetes type 2 depends on the kinds of the drugs and aspects of the patient’s health.
