Q. Please tell me all the tests that diabetic patients need to undergo regularly. A. Visit the hospital at least once every three months. The most important test for diabetic patients is the hemoglobin A1c test. Check the hemoglobin A1c every three months and keep the level between 6.5% and 7% or below. The examination that must be done every six months is a dental check-up. High blood sugar increases substances that cause inflammation in the gums, making periodontal disease more likely to develop. Brush your teeth carefully and get regular scaling treatments. Retinal, kidney, and cardiovascular examinations should be done annually. Diabetic retinopathy can lead to blindness, but Regular check-ups are important because many cases have no symptoms in the early stages. Get an eye examination immediately after being diagnosed with diabetes, and continue to visit the ophthalmologist every year thereafter. Since kidney symptoms do not appear until its function drops below half, regular check-ups are essential. Cardiovascular diseases can be predicted through tests such as electrocardiograms, exercise stress tests, and carotid ultrasound examinations. In addition, peripheral nerve sensory tests, autonomic nervous system function tests, It is also good to have a blood flow test once a year. It would be good to check your foot condition with your own eyes at home every day! ======== Diabetes itself is a condition that requires management, but Diabetes is said to require caution regarding complications. Blood sugar management always seems to be difficult. Visit the hospital once every three months for medical treatment. It seems I have to receive it.
