ICIM  Medics Pre-Diabetes Assessment is an assessment to evaluate your risk of developing diabetes. Pre-diabetes is a state that occurs when your blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to diagnose diabetes. People with pre-diabetes are unable to break down sugars in their body, and 50% of these people go on to develop diabetes within 5 years.

ICIM Medics use the Pre-Diabetes Assessment to evaluate patients risk and to monitor those already diagnosed with pre-diabetes. Once we have identified if you have pre-diabetes our Nurse can offer lifestyle counselling to prevent the onset of diabetes.

Over 300 Million people worldwide are at an increased risk of developing diabetes but are unaware of it.
