Early detection of diabetes reduces the risk of kidney disease, stroke, and cardiovascular disease.

Early detection of type 2 diabetes or prediabetes can help delay or prevent serious complications and improve overall health.

Specifically, early detection of diabetes helps reduce the risk of additional diseases such as: heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease (reduced blood circulation in the arms and legs), kidney damage, diabetic retinopathy (damage to blood vessels in the eyes, which can cause blindness) and nerve damage.

Regular monitoring and check-ups help control blood sugar, reduce the risk of complications and prevent complications from occurring. Therefore, blood sugar should be checked regularly if:

• Have a family history of diabetes.
• Over 45 years old and obese or overweight.
• One or more of the above early warning signs appear.

Most cases of diabetes are preventable if you maintain a balanced diet, maintain an ideal weight as advised by your doctor, and exercise regularly.

If diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes, following a healthy lifestyle can help control blood sugar and limit complications.
