How does Diabetes effect you?

Diabetes occurs when your blood sugar, or glucose, is too high. It is a chronic disease which occurs in the pancreas when it is no longer able to produce insulin, or when your body cannot utilize the insulin, it produces effectively. If the right measurements are not taken, the disease can damage your heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves.

Should you get screened for Diabetes?

Especially since diabetes does not present any obvious symptoms, it is best practice to screen yourself to know for sure if you have the condition. Furthermore, if you are categorized in the high-risk group, it is highly recommended to screen at least once a year for the condition. You can be in the high-risk group if:

  • You have a family history of diabetes
  • You are over the age of 35
  • You have a history of latent diabetes indicators
  • You have high blood pressure
  • You have high cholesterol
  • You have had a history of diabetes during pregnancy
  • People who have given birth to an infant weighing more than 4kg
  • People who regularly consumer food high in carbohydrates and carbonated beverages
  • People who lack physical exercise
