How
do I know if I am a candidate for Metabolic
Activation Therapy?
If you suffer from Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes,
and have any of the debilitating complications
associated with this, then you may be a
candidate. This is an important decision,
and must be made in consultation with your
endocrinologist.
|
|
|
|
|
How
often do I need to be treated?
Metabolic Activation Therapy is performed
on a weekly basis. The treatment sessions
last approximately 6 hours. Our Centers
are designed to maximize patient comfort
during treatment.

|
Does
insurance cover treatments?
Like any new treatment, insurance company
policies will vary. We have an excellent
benefits department who will work with your
insurance company to minimize out-of-pocket
costs. They will determine any copays and
deductible required.

|
Do
I still need to take my regular insulin
dose?
Patients on Metabolic Activation Therapy
still need to adhere to their daily insulin
regimen. Many patients find that their insulin
needs are less and are more stable.
|
|
|
|
|
What
other positive benefits may I experience?
Commonly, patients report an increased energy
level and an overall improved sense of well-being.

|
|
What if I go on vacation and miss my activation
session?
Missing one week of treatment does not result
in any loss of the effect of Metabolic Activation.
Most patients will, however, notice the
deleterious effects if they miss their treatments
for more than one week.
