Overview

Diabetes Mellitus and Thyroid diseases are the major diseases consulted at our department.

For diabetic care, we think that it is most important to prevent complications by starting treatment from an early stage and maintaining good blood sugar control. We try to take care of our patients without hospitalization as much as possible. This is because we initiate insulin therapy at our out-patient clinic if necessary. We also offer outpatient education classes in the Joslin Diabetes Center format for our patients and their families. In this class, besides lectures by doctors, nurses, nutritionists and exercise therapists also offer practical guidance.

For Graves' disease patients, we offer not only medical therapy but also radio-active iodine therapy.

We also take care of the patients with a wide range of other endocrine and metabolic diseases listed below.
