Diabetes Checkup

Living with diabetes can be challenging. It’s important to take an active role in your own health and wellbeing, which includes regular checkups. For those with diabetes, it’s important to check your eyes and feet periodically.

This helps to detect any potential problems before they become major health issues. Here’s why you should check your eyes and feet regularly if you are diabetic. Your eyes are an important part of your health and need to be monitored. Diabetic retinopathy is a condition that can affect the retina, causing vision loss. If left untreated, this can lead to blindness. Checking your eyes regularly can help detect any issues early on, so it’s important to have a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. It’s also important to check your feet for any signs of foot problems. Diabetics are more prone to foot problems due to nerve damage caused by high blood sugar levels.

This can make it difficult to recognize a sore or infection on your feet. Checking your feet regularly can help identify any issues before they become more serious. At our pharmacies, we understand how important it is to take an active role in managing your diabetes.
