Naples’s Antonio Cardarelli hospital regularly follows more than 6,000 patients through its diabetology outpatient clinics, with additional patients taken into care after emergency department visits, according to Il Mattino.
The new “Diabete e Gravidanza” clinic is scheduled to start on 27 November 2026. According to Il Mattino and health-news outlet Agensalute, it is intended both for women who already have diabetes and for patients who develop or discover diabetes during pregnancy.
The service will be multidisciplinary. Agensalute reported that diabetologists, gynaecologists, midwives, dieticians and nurses will be involved, accompanying patients through pregnancy and into the period after birth.
Cardarelli offers dedicated diagnostic and treatment pathways and uses technologies including glucose sensors and insulin microinfusers, according to Il Mattino and Agensalute.
The diabetes service works with other specialties and also follows patients with diabetic foot, neuropathies, heart disease, diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy. The hospital’s official site describes Cardarelli as a reference centre for diabetic-foot management and for diabetes care in complex patients, diabetic pregnancies and cases with severe complications.
The site says hospital admission covers patients with multiple diabetic complications, diabetic pregnancies, diabetes that is difficult to stabilise and patients with severe complications.
How many diabetes patients are taken into care after an emergency-department visit has not been specified. Opening hours, the clinic’s location inside the hospital and booking arrangements for the new pregnancy service have not been published.
