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.
