Why should everyone with diabetes receive these tests?
Diabetes seldom occurs in isolation. A diabetes diagnosis is often accompanied by related conditions such as cardiovascular disease, kidney problems, foot and lower limb complications, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and hyperglycemia in pregnancy.
With 45% of people with diabetes undiagnosed,3 or diabetes recognized only when life-threatening complications develop, testing is critical to diagnose and provide appropriate and timely care.
