What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a condition where the body is unable to regulate blood sugar levels effectively with increased Insulin resistance.  If left untreated, it can affect several organs including the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves.

Importance of Diabetes Screening

Many individuals may not experience symptoms during the early stages of diabetes. Regular screening helps detect abnormal blood sugar levels early and allows timely medical care.

Who Should Get Screened?

Diabetes screening is recommended for individuals who:

• Have a family history of diabetes
• Are overweight or obese
• Experience frequent thirst or urination
• Have high blood pressure
• Are above the age of 40

Women with Obesity, PCOS and hormonal conditions or fertility concerns may also benefit from regular screening.
