At Diabeter, we treat people with type 1 diabetes and monogenic diabetes (MODY). This includes both children and adults.
We do not treat people with type 2 diabetes.

Yes, we provide insured care and have contracts with all health insurers. We therefore charge the costs for you or your child directly to your health insurer. For more information, see health insurance.

Many people who are treated at Diabeter live farther away. For them, the specialized type 1 diabetes care at Diabeter is worth the longer travel time for an appointment.

Many appointments at Diabeter can also be done by phone or online. This means you don’t have to come to a Diabeter location for those. How often this is possible is always discussed with the treatment team and depends on your personal situation.

We have diabetes centers in Rotterdam, Eindhoven, Deventer, and Groningen. For Amsterdam, we kindly refer you to www.diabetercentrumamsterdam.nl

You always switch with the pump and sensor you’re currently using. During your treatment with us, you’ll discuss with your care team whether this is still the preferred treatment.

In a life-threatening situation: always call 112 immediately.

For people receiving treatment at Diabeter, there is an Emergency Line. We are available 24 hours a day, all year round via 088 - 280 72 77 

When you call this number, you will always speak directly with a doctor or diabetes nurse. We consider it very important to provide immediate help when needed.

It is almost never necessary for someone receiving treatment at Diabeter to go to the hospital due to diabetes-related problems. We provide clear guidance on managing diabetes, and our care providers are always reachable via the Emergency Line. Most treatments at Diabeter are outpatient: this means you come to a Diabeter location for appointments and then return home.

If hospitalization is needed, it can be arranged as usual. This is done through a standard referral, which Diabeter will handle for you. We also have special agreements with many hospitals near our diabetes centers.

At Diabeter, we can have your blood and urine tested in the laboratory when it concerns diabetes—for example, during your annual check-up. We can measure HbA1c ourselves at all our locations, and the result is available within 6 minutes. This is done during your appointment at one of our treatment centers, and you receive the result directly from your doctor or diabetes nurse. So, you don’t need to make a separate appointment or go elsewhere for this.

Type 1 diabetes can cause damage to the blood vessels in the eye. These vessels are located in the retina at the back of the eye. When these vessels are damaged due to diabetes, it’s called diabetic retinopathy. At Diabeter, we consider it important to prevent eye damage. That’s why we regularly check the eyes of people with type 1 diabetes. We do this by taking photos of the retina.

This examination is performed at all Diabeter locations using a special device. This means you don’t need to visit an ophthalmologist specifically for the eye check. If the device detects abnormalities, the photos are further examined by a specialist from Ksyos. At our diabetes centers in Eindhoven, Deventer, and Groningen, a Ksyos specialist conducts this examination. The specialist comes to the location on a fixed day and performs the checks for multiple people in a row.

If it turns out you have diabetic retinopathy, you will need to see an ophthalmologist. They can treat the damage to the eye. You will then remain under the care of that ophthalmologist. This also applies to eye problems that are not related to diabetes.
