Thane, Dec 1 (UNI) With diabetes becoming a growing area of concern among people around the world, Aster Volunteers in association with Aster Labs, BioRad and Roche, is offering free diabetes screening and HbA1c tests to create awareness and promote early screening through Aster Hospitals and Clinics in Gulf Cooperation Council countries and India.
While diabetes used to be more frequent in people above 40, it is now becoming common in all age groups and even adolescents and young adults are at greater risk of getting diabetes than before, an official release by Aster stated here on Wednesday.
Speaking on the initiative, T J Wilson, executive director & Group head Governance & Corporate Affairs, Aster DM Healthcare said, “Although diabetes is one of the fastest-growing lifestyle diseases worldwide, it can be treated, and its consequences avoided or delayed with diet, physical activities, medication, regular screening and treatment for complication. Regular screening is an essential part of the diabetes management process and we sincerely hope that this initiative can help people get detected and bring their disease under control.”
