Is this actually type 1?
If you were diagnosed with type 2 as an adult but medications haven’t worked the way they should, you may actually have LADA, a slower-onset autoimmune form of diabetes that’s frequently misdiagnosed. Unlike type 2, LADA is autoimmune and often needs insulin sooner.
If your diagnosis has never quite added up, it’s worth getting properly tested rather than continuing to guess.

Insulin pumps typically cost upwards of AED 40,000 out of pocket. Through Metabolic’s subscription program, eligible Type 1 patients can receive a Medtronic MiniMed 780G pump, a closed-loop system that automatically adjusts insulin delivery every 5 minutes, at no additional cost.
This isn’t a discount or a trial. It’s part of how we believe diabetes technology should work: available to the patients who need it, not just the ones who can pay for it separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an insulin pump cost in Dubai, and is there a free program?
Insulin pumps typically cost upwards of AED 40,000 out of pocket. Through Metabolic's subscription program, eligible Type 1 patients can receive a Medtronic MiniMed 780G pump as part of their care plan, at no separate cost.
My child was just diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, what happens now?
The first few weeks after a Type 1 diagnosis are about building a plan you can actually live with, not just managing a number. Your care team will guide you through insulin dosing, carb counting, and CGM use, with real check-ins as you both adjust.
What is Tzield, and can it delay Type 1 onset in at-risk relatives?
Tzield is a treatment that can delay the onset of Type 1 diabetes in some at-risk individuals; typically close relatives of someone already diagnosed. It's exclusively available at Metabolic in this region. Ask our team if you may be a candidate.
Is LADA the same as Type 1 diabetes?
LADA is a form of autoimmune diabetes, like Type 1, but it develops more slowly and is usually diagnosed in adulthood — often after being mistaken for Type 2. If your Type 2 treatment hasn't worked as expected, it's worth being tested for LADA specifically.
