Every November 14, the world comes together to raise awareness about diabetes, a chronic condition that affects millions (World Diabetes Day). Without proper care, it can lead to serious complications in vital organs such as the heart, kidneys, and eyes. At Laboratorio Clínico Bioclinic, we promote prevention and regular check-ups as key tools for a healthy life, specially diabetes health control.

Early symptoms and diagnosis of diabetes

Common signs include excessive thirst, blurred vision, unexplained weight loss, and frequent urination. Detecting these symptoms early is essential for maintaining good health and preventing complications.

If you notice any of these signals, consult your doctor and request laboratory tests to check your blood glucose levels and overall metabolic health.

Laboratory tests for better diabetes health control

At Laboratorio Clínico Bioclinic, we offer a diabetes health control Diabetic Control Package that includes:

• Blood glucose test, to assess current sugar levels.
• Kidney function tests, to monitor renal health.
• Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), showing the average glucose level over the past 2–3 months.

These tests are essential for proper diabetes management, allowing accurate diagnosis and continuous follow-up.

Healthy habits and prevention

Beyond medical control, maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and limiting sugar intake are fundamental habits for good blood sugar control and overall well-being.
