At Leumit, we place family health as a top priority, and our medical teams are here to take care of, treat and assist in the prevention of illness.
At Leumit we emphasize preventive medicine, designed to lead patients to make wise health decisions, and to reduce the person's chance of getting sick in the future. We place an emphasis on identifying people with diabetes or in a pre-diabetic state and creating an intervention and treatment plan designed to stop, or at the very least - slow down theprogression of the disease.
The diagnosis of diabetes can lead to a lifestyle change and wise health management. Cure and prevention of diabetes complications depend a lot on approaching the disease as a health challenge, responding to treatment and emphasizing an optimal lifestyle. Since type 2 diabetes may be silent and without symptoms for years, it is important to perform a simple and effective blood test to detect the disease at an early stage and before complications develop, even if you think you are healthy.
The principles of diet for diabetes are similar to those recommended for the general population, and this is not by chance. These are the nutritional compositions that have been found to be the most important for health, while avoiding factors that have been proven to be harmful
However, in diabetic patients it is especially important to adhere to these nutritional principles, because they are at a particularly increased risk of complications that are affected by the diet. Also, there are several special emphases on the subject, depending on the type of diabetes.
Many clinical studies show that most limb amputations can be prevented by ensuring diabetes is balanced, routine examination at the clinic and self-examination of the feet.
