A nutritional intervention may involve dietary counselling and nutritional support which will help you identify the changes in lifestyle, diet and physical activity you can make, and set realistic and achievable goals which will be maintained in the long term.

Covered by GESY with a doctor's referral and an approved diagnosis.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ
Can I keep eating my favourite foods?

Yes. There is no single special diet for diabetes. Often it is enough to adjust portions and frequency so you can still enjoy the foods you love.

Is follow-up covered by GESY?

Yes, with a referral from your doctor and provided the diagnosis is among those approved by the Health Insurance Organisation.

How often are follow-up consultations needed?

It depends on your goals. Most people benefit from regular follow-ups during the first months, until new habits are established.
