Treatment

Steno Diabetes Center is a specialised hospital that treats people with diabetes. For us it is important to offer treatment and service of high quality and to teach and give guidance so that our patients become able to manage their diabetes.

Facts about treatment
• We treat about 5600 patients, roughly 1000 of whom attend our Diabetes Unit at Rigshospitalet
• We receive people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes from 16 years of age for examination and treatment
• We have about 25,000 visits annually in the outpatient clinic
• On average the patient sees 2-3 different cross-disciplinary therapists at each visit, since we try to concentrate as many visits as possible into the same day
• We offer short-term admissions to our day-bed unit
• We use fully implemented electronic patient journals

The outpatient clinic is headed by the hospital management, which consists of

Thomas Gjørup, Head of the Clinical Department
