Annual Diabetic Health Packages
A yearly check covering every organ diabetes affects, arranged in a single visit.
Key Takeaways
- Diabetes complications develop without symptoms until they are advanced.
- An annual review covers feet, kidneys, eyes, heart and metabolic control together.
- Early kidney damage is reversible, while established damage is not.
- Foot screening once a year identifies who needs closer monitoring.
What Does the Annual Package Include?
- Complete diabetic foot screening, covering nerves, circulation and skin
- HbA1c and metabolic profile
- Kidney function with urine protein testing
- Lipid profile and cardiovascular risk assessment
- Blood pressure evaluation
- Body composition analysis
- Vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels
- Referral for retinal screening
Why Do Complications Need Screening Rather Than Waiting for Symptoms?
Because symptoms arrive late. Kidney damage produces nothing noticeable until function has fallen substantially. Retinal damage does not affect vision until it threatens sight. Neuropathy removes sensation without pain in many patients.
Consequently, screening finds these while they remain treatable. Urine protein, for instance, identifies early kidney damage at a stage where treatment genuinely reverses it.
Why Is Foot Screening Part of It?
Because it determines your risk category and therefore how often you need checking. A patient with intact sensation and good pulses needs a yearly review. One with lost sensation and deformity needs review every three months and protective footwear now. That distinction only comes from testing.
Screening runs through our assessment service, with results explained the same day.
What Does the Package Cost and How Long Does It Take?
Packages are priced as a bundle, which costs less than arranging each test individually. Most of the visit takes around ninety minutes, with blood results following within a day and a review consultation to go through everything together.
How Often Should It Be Repeated?
Yearly for most patients with stable diabetes. Those with existing complications, previous ulcers or poor control need shorter intervals, and the recommended schedule is set at the review rather than left vague.
