What is Insulin resistance?

Insulin resistance sits within the weight management area that Hi-Doctor covers. Our doctors review your case individually — not through an algorithm — and propose a therapeutic approach when indicated.

How is Insulin resistance evaluated in an online consultation?

You fill in a weight management-oriented medical questionnaire (~4 min). An EU-licensed doctor reviews your clinical history, current medication, allergies and background in under 24 h. If clarifications are needed, they message you via the private chat in your account.

What treatments does the doctor consider for Insulin resistance?

The doctor proposes the most appropriate treatment among those authorised in the EU for weight management. The plan is €25 every 4 weeks for weight loss or €35 every 3 months for hair growth; sexual health remains a €35 one-off consultation. If your case is not eligible, the applicable fee is refunded in full.

How long until you see results?

It depends on the case. For weight management, reasonable timelines are explained during the consultation and follow-up lives inside the private chat. The full medical record stays in an auditable thread inside your account.

Can I consult for Insulin resistance from Bari?

Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100% online across the EU, so from Bari you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The electronic prescription issued by the licensed doctor is valid at any EU pharmacy under Directive 2011/24/EU; outside Spain the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.

Who is a candidate for a medical weight-management programme?

Adults with BMI ≥ 30, or ≥ 27 with comorbidities (hypertension, type-2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia). The doctor reviews your history, current medication and goals before proposing any treatment. It is not a cosmetic programme.

What is the private electronic prescription and why is it valid across the EU?

The private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) is issued by a licensed doctor in Spain. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose), which makes it legally recognised across all 27 EU member states. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.

How does Hi-Doctor work step by step?

1) Fill in an online medical questionnaire in about 4 minutes. 2) The plan is €25 every 4 weeks for weight loss or €35 every 3 months for hair growth; sexual health is €35 per consultation. 3) An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case and, if appropriate, issues an electronic prescription. 4) Collect it at any EU pharmacy. If the review is not approved, the applicable fee is refunded in full.
