Managing diabetes goes beyond just treating it; prevention, early detection, and regular follow-up are all essential. Yearly exams and tests related to diabetes are vital for keeping patients healthy and preventing serious complications. Annual monitoring, such as HbA1c tests, kidney screenings, and retinal eye exams, helps identify concerns early and allows for timely adjustments to care plans.
