Diabetes
Diabetes Clinic in Bucharest
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels caused by insulin deficiency or inefficient use of insulin by the body. At CorePrime, we offer comprehensive services to diagnose, treat and prevent diabetes, with an emphasis on personalized care and effective disease management.
There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys the beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. This type of diabetes usually occurs in childhood or adolescence, although it can also occur in adults. People with type 1 diabetes require daily insulin to survive and keep blood glucose levels under control. Symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, extreme tiredness and unexplained weight loss.
Type 2 diabetes is more common and is often linked to risk factors such as obesity, physical inactivity and genetic predisposition. In this type of diabetes, the body does not use insulin efficiently or does not produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels. Type 2 diabetes can be managed with diet, exercise, oral medications and, in some cases, insulin. Symptoms are similar to those of type 1 diabetes, but develop more slowly and can include blurred vision, frequent infections and slow wound healing.

Diagnosing diabetes mellitus
Diabetes is diagnosed by blood tests, including fasting blood glucose, glucose tolerance test and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). These tests allow us to determine the type and severity of diabetes and initiate appropriate treatment.
Diabetes treatment
Diabetes treatment varies depending on the type and severity of the disease. At CorePrime, we offer a full range of treatments, from oral medication and insulin therapy to nutritional counseling and exercise plans. Our goal is to help patients effectively manage their diabetes and prevent long-term complications.
Diabetes prevention
Preventing type 2 diabetes involves adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise and maintaining a healthy body weight. At CorePrime, we offer advice and support for patients who want to reduce their risk of developing diabetes.
For people with risk factors for diabetes, such as family history, obesity or a sedentary lifestyle, we recommend regular screening and preventive assessments. These measures help to detect pre-diabetes early and implement the necessary interventions to prevent progression to diabetes.
