Residents of Kursk are invited to free diagnostics of the endocrine system on November 13

The event will be held from 10:00 to 14:00 on the fifth floor of the consultative and diagnostic clinic at the address: Kursk, Sumy street, 45A.

Everyone will be able to undergo a diagnosis: measure blood glucose and blood pressure, calculate body mass index and assess the likelihood of endocrine diseases. If there are indications, an endocrinologist will be consulted. In addition, experts will tell you how to maintain the health of the endocrine system and reduce the risk of developing type II diabetes.

Doctors warn that diabetes is insidious: more than half of people with this disease are unaware of it, and often the diagnosis is already at the stage of irreversible lesions of the body. Complications of diabetes can lead to stroke, myocardial infarction, kidney failure, loss of vision and lower limbs.

The risk group for prediabetes and diabetes of the second type includes people older than 45 years, people with overweight or obesity, as well as those whose parents or siblings suffer from this disease. In addition, risk factors are gestational diabetes or the birth of a large fetus in the past, hypertension, low physical activity, cardiovascular disease and polycystic ovary syndrome.
