Internal Medicine Visit

With special focus on diabetes, metabolic disease and cardiovascular risk

Internal Medicine deals with the overall assessment of an adult's state of health and is particularly useful when multiple health issues, risk factors or abnormalities are present that require a general clinical picture.

At the Nutrizione Prevenzione Medical Centre in Pordenone and Conegliano, the internal medicine visit is aimed in particular at assessing and managing diabetes and blood sugar imbalances, obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension and metabolic and cardiovascular issues.

The internist considers the person as a whole: clinical history, symptoms, laboratory and instrumental tests, ongoing therapies, lifestyle and the presence of any concomitant conditions.

When necessary, the assessment can be complemented by the other medical, nutritional and healthcare expertise available at the Centre, following a multidisciplinary approach.

Internal Medicine

An internal medicine visit may be indicated when it is necessary to investigate a specific issue or obtain an overall assessment of one's state of health.

In particular, it is possible to see an internal medicine doctor for:

  • type 2 diabetes mellitus and blood sugar imbalances;
  • prediabetes and metabolic imbalances;
  • overweight and obesity, especially when associated with other clinical conditions;
  • high cholesterol and triglycerides;
  • arterial hypertension;
  • assessment of cardiovascular and metabolic risk;
  • the simultaneous presence of multiple chronic conditions;
  • an overall review of ongoing drug therapies;
  • abnormal blood tests that require a medical assessment;
  • symptoms or complaints that require a general clinical assessment.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a complex metabolic condition that frequently occurs alongside other risk factors, such as overweight or obesity, arterial hypertension and abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

An internal medicine assessment makes it possible to consider these elements within a single clinical picture, reviewing test results, any therapies already taken, associated conditions and lifestyle.

Even in the presence of elevated or abnormal blood sugar, the medical visit makes it possible to interpret the finding within the person's clinical context and to determine, based on the assessment, any further investigations needed.

For the specialist management of endocrine conditions, such as thyroid disorders, our Endocrinology and Diabetology visit is available; the internal medicine assessment instead addresses a more general evaluation of the adult, including when multiple clinical conditions are present together.

Overweight and obesity can be associated with type 2 diabetes, blood sugar imbalances, dyslipidemia, hypertension and an increased cardiovascular risk.

For this reason, weight assessment should not be separated from a person's general state of health.

At the Nutrizione Prevenzione Medical Centre, when clinically indicated, the internal medicine doctor can work together with doctors and nutrition specialists to build a personalised programme based on the patient's clinical history, test results, any therapies and lifestyle.

The main goal is to improve overall health and risk factors; weight management is included within this programme when appropriate.
