Type 2 diabetes management: the framework first

Diabetes management isn't a one-off treatment; it's a long-term programme of assessment, screening, monitoring, intervention and follow-up. Below is what we can responsibly set out at this stage.

The management framework

Specialist assessment→ In-depth screening→ Glucose monitoring→ Complication management→ Long-term follow-up

Specialist assessment & in-depth screeningGlucose-metabolism assessment, complication-risk screening and related checks. First we understand your current condition; then we talk about a management plan.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)Devices such as sensor-based continuous glucose monitors, typically worn for around 14 days, to reveal your glucose patterns. This is a monitoring tool, not a treatment.

Complication managementSpecialist treatment options for complications such as diabetic macular oedema, assessed by the relevant specialist hospital.

Weight & lifestyle managementNutrition, activity and long-term management programmes designed by the hospital to work alongside medication and specialist follow-up.

Stem-cell programmes: a separate note

Stem-cell programmes for type 2 diabetes are on the Lecheng register; the specific programmes and the hospitals offering them are pending written confirmation from our partners, and until then this site does not name hospitals or products. Please verify online claims — including those made in a particular hospital’s name — before trusting them.

This site will not publish prices for stem-cell programmes; course length and scheduling follow the hospital’s written arrangement, eligibility is assessed by the treating hospital, and we make no promises about reducing medication or reversing the condition. If this programme is why you’re here, send us an outline of your case — we’ll connect you with the hospital for assessment, then give you a definite answer.

Timing matters — plan for it early

First, the diabetes stem-cell programmes: course length and scheduling follow the hospital’s written arrangement. Hainan's visa-free entry for 61 countries allows up to 30 days; whether that is enough depends on the total duration the hospital confirms in writing. A plan that needs several visits spaced weeks apart can take longer than 30 days. Please read the Process & Visa page and confirm the total duration before booking flights.
