Tree Top Hospital launches Diabetes Screening Package. Diabetes screening is crucial because early detection enables prompt treatment; after all, prevention is always preferable to cure.
When the pancreas can no longer generate insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it does produce, diabetes develops. Eye, kidney, heart, and foot health issues can be prevented or delayed with early diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. Even while the ailment might not show any overt symptoms, it is still possible to have it. In the Maldives, diabetes is a very common condition, hence screening is crucial for high risk groups.
The package is also advised for high-risk populations in order to promote diabetes prevention and guarantee that treatment is initiated as soon as possible. High-risk groups consist of:
· People with a family history of diabetes
· People over the age of 35
· People with a history of latent diabetes indicators
· People with high blood pressure
· People with high cholesterol
· People who had a history of diabetes during pregnancy
· People who have given birth to an infant weighing more than 4kg
· People who enjoy sweet food, food high in carbohydrates, and carbonated beverages/ generally dislike exercise
The TTH Diabetes Screening Package is designed for people who have not yet received a diagnosis and who would like to find out if they have the illness and, if they do, to determine the severity of the condition. There are two alternatives available for the package: Basic and Comprehensive, and guests can proceed with any one.
