Location and History
Established in 1975 by a group of endocrinologists specialized in diabetes led by Prof. Hirata, the facility was transferred to the present building in 1987. At the end of July 2003, we moved our facility to a new ambulance center.
Policy and Philosophy
The Diabetes Center was established to provide the best comprehensive and up-to-date care for patients with diabetes and their families in order to reduce the number of patients and families suffering from diabetes-related diseases.
We provide patient education, medical treatment and early detection and interventions for the complications related to diabetes based on the latest research and treatment by a multidisciplinary staff to facilitate the best possible outcome for the patient.
Special care units and Multidisciplinary staffs
We have a variety of special care units, each with a diabetologist and the finest staff to meet each patient's need such as ；
Staffs
Each team consists of multidisciplinary professions such as physicians (mainly consists of diabetologists certificated by The Japan Diabetes Society), podiatrists, ophthalmologists, registered nurses, dieticians, pharmacists, exercise physiologists, researchers, physiologic technicians, ophthalmic technicians, and chaplain are working together to promote a better outcome, whose co-medical staffs mainly have CDE (Certificated Diabetes Educators). If necessary, the team members would not hesitate to consult with other professionals outside the center such as; endocrinologists, cardiologists, infectious disease specialists, vascular surgeons, obstetricians, pediatricians, and psychiatrists.
Educational programs
We have a wide range of patients, those newly diagnosed with diabetes, those who have had some diabetes education before, those who need some up-to-date education, and those with and without severe complications. We provide educational programs mainly in the inpatient units, but also in the outpatient units according to each patient's needs.
Listed below are some of the education programs available in the outpatient unit. No appointment is needed, private sessions are given on a first-come-first-served basis. Please come and ask the nurse in room No.14 for the time and place. You may have to wait a while for your turn, so it would be better if you could contact the staff right after the registration and make arrangements while waiting your turn to see the doctor.
In- patient care units
We have a variety of patients in the in-patient units. From those coming for regular check-ups and those for intensive treatment on their complications including surgical treatments, and emergency admissions. We adjust the method of treatment when we see that the patient requires admission.
