Because diabetes can indirectly cause serious health problems. “The consequences of poorly treated diabetes can be very serious. This can in particular lead to cardiovascular diseases because it causes blood vessels to age more quickly. This can lead to heart attacks, strokes, vision problems, etc. In short, diabetes does not kill directly but can cause health problems which can have terrible consequences. And in general, if not detected early enough, it can also cause an alteration in daily life..”
Diabetes, a “silent killer”.
A disease that can be hereditary or linked to obesity problems, diabetes can hide in each of us. “First, the patient will be asked to please complete a questionnaire. Age, weight, general lifestyle, genetics, health problems linked to hypertension, whether he plays sports or not… All these elements can influence the outcome of the operations. Then, we perform a blood sugar test and depending on the result, we can refer the patient to the appropriate department.“
Meet this Thursday between 10 and 3 p.m. in the entrance hall of Jolimont hospital to meet the staff specializing in diabetes to whom you can ask all your questions. A screening test will also be possible.
