DIABETES SCREENING

GENU CARE DIABETES SCREENING

1. When should I have a diabetes screening?
Ans. Screening recommendations differ depending on criteria such as age, risk factors, and health complications. In general, it is advised to discuss diabetes screening with your healthcare practitioner if you are overweight, have a sedentary lifestyle, have a family history of diabetes, or belong to specific high-risk groups. Genu Care Diabetes Screening Package is tailored just for you keeping in mind your healthcare needs.

2. What is the recommended frequency of diabetes screenings?
Ans. Your age, risk factors, and the results of past screenings are a few of the considerations that will determine how frequently you will need to be screened for diabetes. It is often advised to repeat the test every year if your initial screening is normal. Your doctor may advise more routine examinations, though, if you have other risk factors or have already detected a prediabetes diagnosis.

3. Can diabetes be prevented through screening?
Ans. Although screening cannot prevent diabetes, early diagnosis by screening enables prompt treatments and lifestyle changes that can aid in delaying or preventing the onset of diabetes or its consequences. Changes in lifestyle, such as eating healthier, exercising, and reducing weight (if overweight), can greatly lower the risk of developing diabetes in those with prediabetes.

4. What should I do if the results of my screening show that I have diabetes or prediabetes?
Ans. It is very important to follow up with your healthcare practitioner for additional assessment and advice if the results of your screening show that you have diabetes or prediabetes. They can provide you with a thorough treatment plan that may include lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, and weight management), medicines (if required), routine blood glucose monitoring, and continuous assistance for managing diabetes.
