Did you know that diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States?
Sponsored by The Baton Rouge Clinic
Because of the complications associated with it, diabetes can lead to the development of kidney disease, neuropathy, retinopathy, and even increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (leading to heart attack and stroke). Many people with prediabetes and diabetes have no symptoms in the early stages, so screening plays an important role in identifying them.
At The Baton Rouge Clinic, screening is recommended for adults starting at age 35, and earlier for anyone with increased risk factors (overweight/obesity, a family history of diabetes, a personal history of gestational diabetes, PMOS, etc).
