Overweight?.........
Tired, thirsty?.......
Seem to have one infection after another these days?......
Family history of Diabetes?........
We are in the middle of an epidemic of late-onset, weight related Diabetes. There are many people who have this disease but are unaware, because very few people suffer symptoms in the early stages. The classical symptoms of late onset or Type 2 diabetes are tiredness, thirst and repeated infections. Many people will have had diabetes for some time before they have a urine test or a blood test that confirms that they do have diabetes. This is a real problem, as it is well recognised that the complications of diabetes, e.g. heart disease, eye problems and kidney disease are much less likely IF the diabetes is diagnosed early.
The commonly used screening test for diabetes is 'sugar in the urine' which is done many times a day in all GP surgeries with dipstick tests. A much more accurate diagnostic test is a blood sugar test.
At Private GP Services, we are offering all new patients a FREE blood sugar test within a 15 minute appointment.
