 Another speciality area in the field of internal medicine is diabetology. Diabetes mellitus is an endemic disease. Only fine-meshed control combined with a good setting of the blood glucose level can prevent tragic long term consequences such as blindness, dialysis and even limb amputation.
Adequate treatment of diabetes, as well as increased emphasis on blood pressure control and lifestyle factors (such as not smoking and maintaining a healthy body weight), may improve the risk profile of most of the chronic complications. Furthermore nutritional advice is essential for the treatment of diabetes.
