Diabetes Center was opened in 2007 with the motto to be Korea's first dedicated center for diabetes; it benchmarked the best practices from Joslin Diabetes Center in the USA and Tokyo Diabetes Center in Japan, the largest diabetes center in Asia. At the Diabetes Center, a team of physicians, dietitians, and exercise physiologists work together to provide preventive care to the potential diabetic patients and teach prevention methods and education in order to prevent and cure the disease. Blood test and other complication tests are done at the central area within the center. At KBSMC Diabetes Center, other specialists are brought onto the team: an ophthalmologist, nephrologist, cardiologist, podiatrist, to manage diabetes more effectively. The center operates one-stop system for consultation-diagnosis-treatment, and detailed consultation plans for prevention and cure of the diabetes. After the consultation, patients receive various educational programs and classes regarding managing the disease. The center also offers U-Health service to treat patients anytime, anywhere.
