Hello. I just wanted to mention some of the things that happened, so that your team is in the loop of what your customers are going through. I was contacted by Dr. Sadeq, which was very pleasant to communicate with. Roman on the other hand, was not clear about anything from the beginning. Saying “don’t worry, it is okay.” After confirming the doctors, and sending all my medical files 2 weeks ahead of time, I came to realise that the doctors have no idea about my condition. I walked in to a confused doctor, not even knowing that I have heart failure. I saw this as quite unprofessional that they haven’t even had time to review my documents. Once the doctor asked for my files, Roman did not have them, and I was forced to give a brief summary of what happened. This made me feel that my case was of no interest or importance to the representative. After finally managing to see the surgeon, he said that was the only day he was available (March 2nd), and that he was flying for work elsewhere. He had asked me to come back on the 16th of March. I could not believe that, as I have paid for tickets, plus hotels for two people (my mother joining) for 10 days in Vienna, when the doctor is not even there to do the surgery I was supposed to do. Do you know what the costs are of this mishap? After that, we ended up seeing another cardiologist recommended by the cardio surgeon. He was great, but when we came back the next day for ROman’s set appointment, it turns out there was no appointment, and he “had to go” and left me to deal with the hospital. The communication with Roman was horrible. I was just waiting in the lobby for 3 days not knowing what will happen, what are the fees, and no warnings or consultations. Especially when an x-ray costs 2,500 euros, I would have appreciated an initial warning of the costs. Not just “come pay” style that he has. That is as much as the biopsy, which I will still have to do in the future. I have experience with companies like yours, but the unprofessionalism, lack of communication, and unorganisation is unprecedented. I am going out of my way just to clarify what my experience was with your team, with handling things. The hospital and doctors were great. It was just the missteps by Roman that was upsetting.

Everything was fine. Bookimed was very kind to find me an appointment pretty short notice in Vienna. The surgent was very professional. The only thing I would have preferred was to pay with a credit card. I had to go to an ATM and pay cash.

FAQ about Diabetes type 2 Treatment in Austria

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.

  • Over 640 million people worldwide will have diabetes by 2040 in accordance with the International Diabetes Federation assessment.
  • 95% of the cases are type 2 diabetes in compliance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
  • 24% of young people are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes despite the opinion that it is an adult-onset disease.

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.

✔️ 50-95% of diabetic people achieve normalization of blood sugar level after obesity surgery. The effectiveness of the operation depends on the method applied.

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

How to choose the diabetes treatment center?

  2. Accreditation. It guarantees maintaining of international guidelines. Certified hospitals provide high-quality services and ensure patient’s safety during the procedures.

The complete type 2 diabetes examination in the best diabetes treatment centers includes:

  • A1C (glycated hemoglobin) test indicates average blood sugar level for the last 2-3 months. The higher blood sugar level is, the more hemoglobin a person has.
  • 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.
