What should I expect from this Diabetes – Diagnosis and Monitoring?

This diagnostic and monitoring process focuses on checking your HbA1c levels, a biomarker used to confirm the presence or risk of developing diabetes. It’s a crucial test that can potentially save lives, as many individuals may have diabetes without being aware of it. Unmanaged or undiagnosed diabetes is a leading cause of mortality. For individuals already diagnosed with diabetes, regular HbA1c checks are essential for monitoring progress.
