Find Out If You’re at Risk of Diabetes
Diabetes is a complex disease involving genetics, diet, weight, stress, and other factors. Diabetes is ultimately caused by your body's inability to produce insulin, so your genetic predisposition to the disease is critical.
A DNA test can determine your genetic risk for diabetes, both type 1 and type 2. Early detection of a higher-than-average risk provides an opportunity to manage your diet and weight in order to avoid developing diabetes. It also allows you to monitor for symptoms, allowing you to identify diabetes and begin managing your blood sugar sooner rather than later.
In addition, after having the test result, you should have a consultation with an experienced doctor to have useful advice and plan the right health care schedule.
