Have you been screened?
Urgent care practitioners see many patients who come in for a
particular complaint, and surprisingly discover that they are diabetic. Periodic
screening and early diagnosis is essential to delay or avoid the long-term
effects of the disease. It is documented that the earlier that diabetes is
diagnosed, the better your chances of treating it appropriately, and helping individuals
to stay healthy.
Tests for type 1 and type 2 diabetes and prediabetes:
- Glycated hemoglobin
(A1C) test
- Random blood sugar
test
- Fasting blood sugar
test
- Oral glucose
tolerance test
Nearly 30 million people are afflicted with some form of diabetes, but
early diagnosis and development of a diabetes treatment plan will have positive
and life changing implications. Careful management of diabetes begins with
proper and regular screening. Get peace of mind or get on the road to proper
treatment by walking in to a local urgent care clinic for diabetic screening.
