Continuing Diabetes Treatment in Jujo, Kita Ward | Jujo Station Haru Internal Medicine Clinic

If you've been told your HbA1c is high during a health check-up, are taking diabetes medication but your current clinic is too far, or have recently moved and are looking for an internal medicine clinic nearby, this guide will explain diabetes management in the Jujo and Kita-ku area.

👉 Same-day walk-in appointments are available. Please feel free to consult us first.

For diabetes, choosing a clinic where you can "keep attending" is important

Diabetes is not a disease that can be resolved with a single treatment. It requires gradual adjustments to medication and lifestyle while regularly monitoring blood glucose, HbA1c, and kidney function. Therefore,being located in a place that is easy to access for a long timeis one of the most crucial conditions for continuing treatment.

Jujo Station Haru Internal Medicine Clinic is a 1-minute walk from Jujo Station on the JR Saikyo Line. We are open every day from Monday to Sunday, and you can visit on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays as usual. We have created an environment that is easy for those who "are too busy to go on weekdays" or "tend to put off regular check-ups."

Diabetes treatment services available at our clinic

• Measurement of HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, and random blood glucose (blood tests performed on the same day)

• Diagnosis of diabetes and consultation on treatment plans

• Prescription and management of oral medications (e.g., metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists)

• Guidance on lifestyle (diet, exercise, weight management)

• Complication screening (kidney function, lipids, urine tests, etc.)

• Transfer from other clinics and continuation of prescriptions

If self-injection of insulin or specialized diabetes management is required, we will refer you to an appropriate specialist institution.

About HbA1c targets

HbA1c reflects the average blood glucose over the past 1 to 2 months. The general targets are as follows:

Even if you've been told your "HbA1c is 6.5% or higher" or "diagnosed with prediabetes," seeking early consultation can sometimes lead to improvement through lifestyle changes alone, without the need for medication.

For those who wish to transfer from another clinic

Even if you are currently receiving diabetes medication from another clinic, we accept transfers without any issues. Bringing your medication record book and recent test results will allow for a smooth transition. Please feel free to transfer for reasons such as "my previous clinic became too far," "I moved," or "the consultation hours don't suit me."

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. If I start taking diabetes medication, do I have to take it for the rest of my life?
 If blood glucose levels improve sufficiently through lifestyle changes, medication can sometimes be reduced or stopped under the doctor's discretion. However, stopping medication on your own is dangerous, so please consult us first.

Q. I was told I have "prediabetes." Do I need to see a doctor?
Even at the prediabetes stage, appropriate action can prevent progression to diabetes. We recommend seeking early consultation.

Q. Can I be treated under health insurance?
Yes, all diabetes diagnosis, treatment, and regular management are covered by health insurance.
