Check blood glucose levels by visiting the internal medicine department or the diabetes clinic. The internal medicine department handles the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, including blood glucose testing, medication management, dietary and exercise therapy, as well as diagnosing diabetes and providing treatment recommendations. The diabetes clinic is a specialized department dedicated to the treatment of diabetes, offering services such as blood glucose testing, medication management, dietary and exercise counseling, diagnosis of diabetes, and treatment advice. Additionally, it provides guidance on diabetes prevention and management, nutritional counseling, screening for high-risk individuals, blood glucose control, and treatment to prevent or manage diabetic complications.
