Understanding the Diabetes Exam
The first step towards diabetes management is a comprehensive examination. If you are experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, constant hunger, blurry vision, numbness in your extremities, severe fatigue, or very dry skin, it is crucial to get checked. These are common signs of diabetes, and early diagnosis is key to avoiding further complications. During an exam, our skilled team conducts thorough blood analysis tests and screenings to determine your blood sugar levels. We also delve into your family history, lifestyle, and other contributing factors. Based on these results, we can officially diagnose whether you have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and kickstart the pathway towards reclaiming your health.Your Partner in Diabetes Care
