Tottori Internal Medicine Clinic
About
Located on Tottori-Odori in Kushiro City, Hokkaido, Asahi-kai Tottori Internal Medicine Clinic is a local clinic specializing in internal medicine. The clinic focuses on treating lifestyle-related diseases including diabetes, taking an approach where detailed understanding of causes and current conditions through various examinations leads to determining treatment policies through consultation with patients. Treatment combines dietary therapy, exercise therapy, and pharmacotherapy (oral medications and injectable preparations), with particular emphasis on dietary therapy, providing individual nutritional guidance by registered dietitians. A notable feature of the clinic is the introduction of the painless blood glucose monitoring device "FreeStyle Libre." This device, which involves attaching a sensor about the size of a 500-yen coin to the arm and checking blood glucose fluctuations simply by holding a dedicated device or smartphone over it, is available under insurance coverage for patients using injectable medications. English language support is available, and the clinic accepts credit cards and electronic payments, with parking and barrier-free facilities available. The clinic is closed on Sundays and holidays.
