For Those Struggling with Diabetes Control
At our Skin Clinic, diabetes treatment and lifestyle improvement are supported by specialists in internal medicine. Diabetes, when blood sugar levels remain high for extended periods, can lead to various complications. We offer personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s lifestyle.
Please note that due to a shortage of in-house medications, we are currently not accepting new patients.
The Three Major Complications of Diabetes
The primary complications of diabetes include the following three:
- Retinopathy (risk of vision impairment and blindness)
- Nephropathy (risk of requiring dialysis)
- Neuropathy (symptoms like numbness and pain in the hands and feet)
At our clinic, we conduct regular blood tests, kidney function assessments, and eye exams through our partner ophthalmology practice to focus on early detection, early treatment, and preventing progression.
Types of Diabetes Medications We Offer
There are various types of medications for diabetes treatment, and at our clinic, we use combination therapy tailored to each patient’s condition.

- Biguanides (Metformin): Suppresses glucose production in the liver and improves insulin resistance.
- GLP-1 Receptor Agonists (Ozempic, Manjaro, Victoza, Rybelsus, etc.): Lowers blood sugar and promotes weight loss.
- SGLT2 Inhibitors (Ruserfi, Farxiga, Jardiance, Sugra, etc.): Promotes glucose excretion through the kidneys, with heart and kidney protective effects.
- DPP-4 Inhibitors (Januvia, Tradjenta, Nesina, etc.): Gently improves blood sugar control.
- Insulin Preparations (Lantus, Tresiba, Humalog, etc.): Supplements insufficient insulin.
- SU Drugs (Glimepiride, Amaryl, etc.): Stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas.
- Thiazolidine Drugs (Actos, etc.): Improves insulin resistance.
These medications are prescribed by our specialists, who carefully consider each patient’s condition and lifestyle to combine them appropriately.
Diabetes Treatment and Diet
Diabetes treatment requires not only medication but also exercise therapy and dietary management. At our clinic, we provide specialized guidance on diet and exercise, tailored to each patient’s body type and lifestyle, to comprehensively support weight control and diabetes management.
