Diabetes Screening

There are an estimated 1,250,000 undiagnosed diabetics in the UK.

diabetes is an illness that results when the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate the level of sugar in the blood. It is a relatively common disease that effects both sexes, but some of us are more likely to suffer from the disease than others.

Diabetes becomes more common with increasing age. People with family history of diabetes are more likely to develop it themselves, as are people who are overweight. Diabetes is more common amongst Asians and Afro-Caribbeans.

There may be no symptoms in the early stages of diabetes. High blood sugar levels can lead to symptoms such as: being more thirsty, passing lots of urine, tiredness, weight loss, skin infections and blurred vision.

Take the test

This simple urine test is very accurate. It detects glucose (sugar) in urine. The test gives a simple positive or negative answer. Glucose in urine can be an early sign of diabetes. If the disease is detected early, before symptoms are noticed, treatment is more successful.

Once diagnosed by a doctor some diabetics can be treated by keeping to a healthy diet. Others take tablets or inject insulin to control the level of blood sugar.
