Why is it important to work with a diabetes specialist doctor?

Living with diabetes requires much more than dietary advice. It is a chronic medical condition that should be monitored and guided by a qualified doctor with specific expertise in diabetes care. Proper medical follow-up is essential to control blood glucose levels, adjust treatment when necessary, prevent complications, and improve long-term quality of life.

At Clinic Santa Maria, diabetes care is provided by Dr. Haydee Gontek, a medical doctor with a Master’s degree in Diabetes. She offers a comprehensive and personalized medical approach for patients with diabetes.

Each consultation focuses on understanding your medical history, current treatment, lifestyle, blood test results, cardiovascular risk factors, and individual needs. The goal is not simply to “adjust a diet”, but to provide professional medical guidance, optimize diabetes management, and help prevent complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and overall health.

Whether you have recently been diagnosed, need a second medical opinion, or feel that your diabetes is not well controlled, Clinic Santa Maria offers professional diabetes consultations in Mallorca and online medical advice for international patients.

Frequently asked questions about our diabetes service

What Can a Diabetes Specialist Doctor Do for Me?

Living with diabetes can be challenging, but the right medical support makes a significant difference. A diabetes specialist doctor—also known as an endocrinologist or diabetologist—is trained to help you manage your condition effectively and improve your overall quality of life.

A diabetes specialist can provide an accurate diagnosis and identify the specific type of diabetes you have, whether it’s type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes. This is essential for creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

One of the main benefits of seeing a diabetes specialist is access to expert guidance on blood sugar management. They will help you monitor your glucose levels, adjust medications, and recommend insulin therapy if necessary. Their goal is to keep your blood sugar within a healthy range and prevent complications.

In addition, a diabetes doctor can offer nutritional advice and lifestyle recommendations. Diet and physical activity play a crucial role in diabetes control, and a specialist can guide you on the best foods to eat, meal planning, and exercise routines suited to your condition.

Another key advantage is ongoing support and prevention. Diabetes specialists monitor your progress regularly, screen for potential complications such as nerve damage, kidney issues, or vision problems, and take early action to prevent them.

If you’re struggling to control your diabetes or have recently been diagnosed, consulting a diabetes specialist doctor can give you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take control of your health.

Take the first step toward better diabetes management today by consulting a qualified specialist.

Your first consultation with a diabetes specialist is an important step toward understanding and managing your health. This initial appointment is designed to assess your condition, answer your questions, and create a personalized care plan tailored to your needs.

During the first consultation, the doctor will begin by reviewing your medical history in detail. This includes any previous diagnoses, medications, family history of diabetes, and lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, and stress levels. This comprehensive evaluation helps the specialist gain a complete picture of your health.

You can also expect a thorough discussion about your symptoms and any concerns you may have. Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed or have been living with diabetes for years, this is your opportunity to speak openly and get expert guidance.

In many cases, the doctor will perform or request diagnostic tests. These may include blood glucose measurements, HbA1c testing, or other laboratory analyses to assess how well your blood sugar has been controlled over time.

Another key part of the first consultation is education. The specialist will explain your condition in clear terms, helping you understand how diabetes affects your body and what steps you can take to manage it effectively.

Based on all the information gathered, your doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan. This may include medication, insulin therapy, dietary recommendations, and lifestyle changes tailored specifically to you.

Finally, you will discuss follow-up appointments and ongoing monitoring. Diabetes management is a continuous process, and regular check-ups are essential for maintaining optimal health.

Booking your first consultation is the first step toward taking control of your diabetes and improving your long-term wellbeing.

No, this service is not limited to people who have already been diagnosed with diabetes. In fact, seeing a diabetes specialist can be highly beneficial even if you are at risk of developing the condition or simply want to take a proactive approach to your health.

Many individuals seek expert guidance because they have prediabetes, a family history of diabetes, or symptoms such as fatigue, increased thirst, or unexplained weight changes. Early evaluation and prevention strategies can significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

A diabetes specialist can assess your risk factors, perform appropriate screening tests, and provide personalized advice on nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle habits. This preventive approach is key to maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and avoiding future complications.

This service is also ideal for people who want to improve their metabolic health, manage weight, or better understand how their body responds to food and exercise. Even without a formal diagnosis, professional guidance can help you make informed decisions and build sustainable habits.

For those already diagnosed with diabetes, the service offers ongoing monitoring, treatment adjustments, and support to ensure optimal disease management. However, you do not need a diagnosis to benefit from expert care.

Whether you are managing diabetes, at risk, or simply prioritizing your health, this service is designed to support you at every stage.

Diabetes treatment varies depending on whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, but the main goal is always the same: to control blood sugar levels and prevent complications.

For people with type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin, so insulin therapy is essential. Treatment typically includes daily insulin injections or the use of an insulin pump. Patients also need to monitor their blood glucose levels regularly and balance insulin doses with food intake and physical activity. Education and ongoing support are key parts of managing type 1 diabetes effectively.

In contrast, type 2 diabetes treatment often begins with lifestyle changes. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management can significantly improve blood sugar control. In many cases, doctors may prescribe oral medications to help the body use insulin more efficiently or reduce glucose production in the liver. As the condition progresses, some patients may also require insulin therapy.

Both types of diabetes benefit from a personalized treatment plan created by a specialist. This may include continuous glucose monitoring, nutritional guidance, and regular check-ups to track progress and adjust treatment when necessary.

Early diagnosis and proper management are crucial for reducing the risk of complications such as heart disease, nerve damage, kidney problems, and vision loss.

With the right treatment and medical support, people with diabetes can lead healthy, active lives.

Bringing your lab tests or previous medical results to your consultation is highly recommended, but it is not always required. If you already have recent blood tests, glucose readings, or medical reports, they can provide valuable insights and help your diabetes specialist better understand your current health status.

Documents such as HbA1c results, fasting glucose levels, cholesterol panels, and any previous diagnoses allow the doctor to make a more accurate and efficient assessment. This can save time during your appointment and help create a personalized treatment plan more quickly.

If you use a glucose monitor or continuous glucose monitoring device, bringing your recorded data can also be very helpful. These readings give a clearer picture of how your blood sugar levels change throughout the day and in response to food, activity, or medication.

However, if you do not have recent tests, there is no need to worry. The specialist can request the necessary laboratory work or perform initial evaluations as part of your care. The consultation is designed to adapt to your situation, whether you are newly diagnosed, seeking a second opinion, or simply looking for expert guidance.

Being prepared with your medical information can enhance the quality of your visit, but your first step is simply booking the consultation.

Your doctor will guide you through everything you need to achieve the best possible care.

The time it takes to see results with diabetes treatment depends on your individual situation, the type of diabetes, your current blood sugar levels, lifestyle habits, and the treatment plan recommended by the doctors at Clinic Santa Maria.

Many patients notice early improvements within the first few days or weeks after starting the right medical approach. Better glucose control, improved energy levels, reduced thirst, and more stable daily readings are often among the first positive changes.

Longer-term results usually develop over several weeks to a few months, especially when treatment includes medication adjustments, nutrition guidance, weight management, and regular follow-up. Blood tests such as HbA1c often show clearer progress after around three months, as they reflect average blood sugar over time.

Our diabetes care focuses on safe, sustainable, and medically supervised improvement rather than quick fixes. We provide personalised support in English, German, and Spanish, both in person in Mallorca and through online consultations for patients living elsewhere.

With expert guidance from Clinic Santa Maria, many patients achieve better diabetes control, improved wellbeing, and long-term health benefits with consistent care and follow-up.
