Tree Top launch diabetics screening package

Tree Top Hospital on Wednesday introduced a special package to screen for diabetics under the name - Diabetes Screening Package.

Screening for diabetes is important as early screening will allow for early treatment.

Diabetes treatment from the start can protect against or slow the progression of health problems affecting the eyes, kidneys, heart, and feet.

Moreover, since diabetes is a highly prevalent disease in Maldives, screening for diabetes is essential for high risk groups.

Additionally, Tree Top recommends this package for high-risk groups, in order to prevent diabetes and ensure that treatment is started at the earliest stage.

High-risk group includes: 

·         People with a family history of diabetes 

·         People over the age of 35 

·         People with a history of latent diabetes indicators 

·         People with high blood pressure 

·         People with high cholesterol 

·         People who had a history of diabetes during pregnancy 

·         People who have given birth to an infant weighing more than 4kg 

·         People who enjoy sweet food, food high in carbohydrates, and carbonated beverages/ generally dislike exercise 

Tree Top noted that the package is curated for those who have not yet been diagnosed and would like to identify whether they have the condition and if they are already aware that they have diabetes to check on the severity of the condition.
