Overview

Good diabetes care is more than lowering one glucose result.

Type 2 diabetes develops when the body does not use insulin effectively and may also stop making enough insulin to keep blood glucose within a healthy range.

At Apgujeong Hana Clinic, we build a practical care plan around your glucose pattern, HbA1c, medications, eating habits, activity level, body weight and risks affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes and nerves.

Whether you were recently diagnosed, are continuing treatment from another country or need help with unstable readings, our team provides clear English guidance and structured follow-up.

🧪 HbA1c Testing Reviews your longer-term average glucose pattern.
💊 Medication Review Checks whether your current plan is effective and appropriate.
📈 Glucose Monitoring Uses home readings or CGM data to identify patterns.
🫀 Whole-Body Risk Care Includes blood pressure, cholesterol and complication prevention.
Your Diabetes Numbers

Tests that help us understand your glucose control.

Not every patient needs every test at every visit. Your doctor selects testing based on your symptoms, history, medicines and treatment goals.

🧪 HbA1c Estimates your average blood glucose over the previous two to three months. Long-term trend
🌅 Fasting Glucose Shows your blood glucose after an overnight fast and helps assess baseline control. Baseline check
🍽️ Post-Meal Glucose Helps identify glucose rises after meals that may not appear in fasting results. Meal response
📱 CGM Data Can reveal daily patterns, high readings, low readings and time within your target range. Pattern view

Your target should be personalised

Glucose and HbA1c goals can differ depending on age, other medical conditions, pregnancy plans, medication risks and history of low blood sugar. Your doctor will set a goal that is appropriate for you.

Long-Term Protection

Diabetes follow-up should also protect the rest of your body.

Blood Pressure & Cholesterol
Cardiovascular risk is reviewed alongside glucose because diabetes care includes heart and stroke prevention.
Heart Health
Kidney Monitoring
Blood and urine testing may be used to check kidney function and look for early diabetic kidney changes.
Kidneys
Eye Examination
Regular retinal examination may be recommended to detect diabetic eye disease before vision is affected.
Eyes
Nerve & Foot Review
Symptoms such as numbness, tingling, pain or slow-healing wounds should be assessed promptly.
Nerves & Feet
How It Works

Your Type 2 diabetes visit.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Bring your medication list, recent laboratory results and home glucose or CGM records to your appointment.

💬 WhatsApp Us 📞 02) 3443-7550
Diagnosis is based on blood testing such as HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, an oral glucose tolerance test or a random glucose result when typical symptoms are present. Abnormal results may need confirmation depending on the situation.
Not everyone with Type 2 diabetes needs insulin. Treatment may include lifestyle changes, tablets, injectable medicines or insulin. The choice depends on glucose levels, symptoms, other health conditions and how your body responds.
We can review your current medicines and determine whether the same product or an appropriate Korean equivalent is available. Please bring the packaging, prescription or a clear medication list.
CGM may be useful for selected people with Type 2 diabetes, especially when insulin is used or when more detailed glucose-pattern information is needed. Your doctor can assess whether it suits your treatment plan.
The schedule depends on how stable your glucose is and whether treatment has recently changed. Your doctor will recommend an appropriate testing interval rather than using the same schedule for every patient.
