The early symptoms of diabetes, especially type II, can be subtle and seem completely harmless. Often the disease in the initial stages is completely asymptomatic. However, the insidiousness of the disease is that complications of diabetes can develop over time, even if there were no symptoms before.
In the world every minute there is a patient with diabetes, and in the same time two people die from complications of this disease. Therefore, it is very important to regularly carry out preventive diagnostics of the body for early detection of disorders and timely treatment.
Check-up “Prevent Diabetes” is recommended:
Persons under 45 who have:
- increased body weight;
- sedentary lifestyle;
- there are relatives of the first line of kinship who suffered from diabetes mellitus;
- a child was born with a body weight of more than 4 kg or a history of gestational diabetes;
- arterial hypertension;
- dyslipidemia;
- polycystic ovary syndrome in women.
All persons over 45 years of age. Laboratory screening for type II diabetes mellitus should be performed regardless of risk factors. If the test results do not deviate from the norm, it is advisable to repeat the screening at least once every 2 years.
Check-up “Prevent Diabetes” will determine whether a person has diabetes and how serious the problem is. Diabetes is often diagnosed only after complications appear, making treatment difficult. Our main task is early diagnosis, early treatment and prevention of vascular complications.

Program content:
Consultation by a specialist:
- endocrinologist (primary and secondary, supervising the program and providing an opinion on the results. During the consultation, the doctor will conduct an examination, study the results of the research and, based on this, draw up an individual plan of recommendations and, if indicated, treatment. If some indicators deviate from the norm, the doctor may recommend an additional examination to clarify the causes and mechanisms of the pathology of the process).
- ophthalmologist (examination, consultation);
- neurologist (monitoring the state of the nervous system);
- therapist (examination, consultation).
Surveys:
- anthropometry (height, weight, blood pressure, pulse, ratio of fat and muscle mass, body mass index);
- visual acuity (without correction; with correction)
- structure of the eye;
- curvature of the cornea;
- intraocular pressure;
- astigmatism, eye refraction;
- biomicroscopy;
- eye ground;
- ОСТ of the retina and optic disc.
Instrumental diagnostics
- electrocardiography ECG (during ECG electrical impulses that occur in the heart are recorded. This information is recorded on special paper in the form of a special jagged graph. Looking at it, the doctor can understand: is the heart rate and heart rhythm normal; are there any changes indicating the fact that the heart experiences oxygen starvation, that is, its blood supply is insufficient; is there hypertrophy (thickening) of certain parts of the heart);
- Ultrasound of the abdominal organs and kidneys (in real time shows information about the state of the abdominal organs: size, structure, contours, localization of the pancreas, gallbladder, spleen and liver);
- Ultrasound of the thyroid gland (shows in detail the contours and structure of the thyroid gland, the presence of formations and cysts. This study allows you to identify signs of autoimmune thyroiditis, diffuse toxic goiter, tumors of the thyroid gland and other pathologies).
Analyses:
- complete analysis of blood and urine (determination of changes in quantitative and qualitative indicators of the composition of blood and urine helps to assess the general condition of the body and identify the presence of acute and chronic diseases;
- glucose (shows the level of sugar at the time of blood sampling);
- glycated hemoglobin (its concentration reflects the average sugar content in retrospect – over the past 3 months. Together, these indicators help to identify elevated sugar levels (pre-diabetes) and diabetes at an early stage, as well as monitor the effectiveness of treatment);
- creatinine and urea (kidney indicators are formed in the muscles and then released into the blood. They are involved in the energy metabolism of muscle and other tissues. They are excreted from the body by the kidneys with urine, so it is an important indicator of kidney activity);
- a-amylase (determination of the activity of a-amylase in the blood is necessary for the diagnosis of inflammation of the salivary glands (mumps) and the pancreas (pancreatitis). Since the pancreas is the largest source of amylase in the body, its diseases cause a massive release of the enzyme into the blood );
- alkaline phosphatase (increased in diseases affecting the bile ducts, so this analysis helps to confirm or suggest blockage of the biliary tract with stones in the bile ducts. The analysis is performed in order to diagnose diseases affecting the biliary tract, and in children to detect a bend in the duct);
- liver tests (ALAT, ASAT, total bilirubin);
- lipidogram;
- • thyroid hormones free thyroxine T4, thyroid stimulating hormone TSH and thyroid peroxidase antibodies AB-TPO (the most important growth hormones that control the formation of energy in the human body, are responsible for the metabolism of fats and proteins. In addition, TSH regulates the flow of iodine into the thyroid gland and enhances lipolysis (the breakdown of fats into fatty acids).
AB-TPO is an indicator of the aggression of the immune system in relation to its own body, as well as the most sensitive test for detecting autoimmune thyroid disease).
Check-up “Prevent Diabetes” provides for 2 visits to the clinic, since this offer involves the passage of the necessary primary diagnostics and contains not only instrumental diagnostics, but also laboratory tests, it is necessary to schedule 2 visits to the clinic.
