High blood pressure and type 2 diabetes are common, and both can develop for years without obvious symptoms. That is one reason regular checkups matter: many people only learn about a problem when it is measured.
Why it matters. Over time, uncontrolled blood pressure or blood sugar can affect the heart, kidneys, eyes and blood vessels. Finding changes early gives you and your provider more options.
What a checkup can include. A blood pressure reading, a review of your medicines, and, when appropriate, screening tests. Excellent Ultimate Medical Center offers in-house point-of-care testing during your visit.
Everyday steps people often discuss with their provider.
Every person's plan is different, so decisions about your care should be made with your own healthcare provider.
