He Model Center for Diabetes, Obesity and Nutrition (CEMDON) It is positioned as an innovative proposal in the approach to complex diseases such as obesity and diabetes, betting on a comprehensive model that combines specialization, technology and interdisciplinary work. In dialogue with THE VOICE OF SAINT JUSTO, the doctors Paola Daniela Masuero who is a specialist in general medicine, obesity, diabetes and nutrition and Maria Elena Badra medical specialist in diabetes, obesity and orthomolecular medicine, highlighted the importance of this approach in the face of increasingly frequent problems.
The name CEMDON summarizes its essence: The “M” in model represents a constant challenge of updating and innovation in the treatment of complex pathologies. Within this framework, the center has a highly specialized team that incorporates tools with scientific support such as mindfulness, tai chi, specialized podiatry, digital insoles and a comprehensive approach to the climacteric with pelvic floor rehabilitation.
One of the fundamental pillars is the interdisciplinary approach. “The appropriate way to address these pathologies is jointly, with the specialized perspective of each professional,” they explained. To do this, they work with a single clinical history and a system of constant meetings that allows knowledge to be integrated and therapeutic results to be improved. In addition, they develop care circuits that include complete check-ups and personalized returns, as well as workshops and talks that complement medical consultations.
The center covers multiple specialties: diabetes and obesity in adults and children, bariatric surgery, diabetic foot, nutrition, pelvic floor rehabilitation, physical activity, cardiology, gynecology focused on menopause, mindfulness and psychology. Care can be both in-person and virtual, and includes technological tools such as bioimpedances and digital insoles.
Regarding the current situation, the professionals warned that there is still a lack of greater social awareness. “Half of patients with diabetes do not know their diagnosis and access to technology and trained professionals is insufficient,” they pointed out. In the case of obesity, They highlighted that 60% of the population is overweight or obese, and that it is still not considered a disease by a large part of society. “It is erroneously associated with a lack of will, when in reality it is a progressive disease linked to multiple pathologies,” they explained.
In this sense, they highlighted that obesity was related in 2021 by the WHO to 3.7 million deaths in the world, in addition to its association with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancers, respiratory, digestive and neurological problems. Faced with this scenario, they maintain that current prevention and education programs are insufficient, so from CEMDON They work to generate changes through clear information and updated treatments.
