Adherence
Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes should undergo annual screening for Cardio-Renal-Metabolic (CRM) risk, including blood pressure, lipid profile, and kidney function, to identify and manage multi-organ dysfunction early.
Once you have diabetes, you need a full health check-up every year, not just a blood sugar test. This includes checking your blood pressure, cholesterol, and kidney function. This annual check is your best defense against heart disease and kidney failure.

CRM risk screening should include relevant investigations to identify risk factors, including assessment of BP, lipid profile, renal and liver function... For individuals with T2D: Annually.
Why this rating
