イメージHealth Checkup Facilities for Type 2 Diabetes in Nagasaki
Type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle-related disease in which blood sugar levels remain chronically elevated. In the early stages, there are often no symptoms; however, if left unaddressed, it can lead to severe complications including blindness from retinopathy, dialysis dependency from nephropathy, and heart attack or stroke from arteriosclerosis. Blood tests (HbA1c and blood glucose) are included in most health checkups, but combining a fundus examination with an arteriosclerosis test is recommended for the early detection of complications.
