Manage Your Risk: Cholesterol & Diabetes Checks Matter
This Men’s Health Month, Midvaal Hospitaal encourages men to focus on two often-overlooked health risks—cholesterol and diabetes. These silent conditions can lead to serious complications if not detected early.
❤️ The Silent Risk of High Cholesterol
High cholesterol builds up in your arteries, increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke. The danger? You won’t feel it until it’s too late. A simple blood test can tell you if your levels are too high.
Visit our Heart Health Department to get your lipid profile done quickly and efficiently.
🍬 Watch Your Blood Sugar
Diabetes is on the rise in South Africa. Many men are unaware they’re living with pre-diabetes or Type 2 diabetes. Symptoms can be subtle—fatigue, thirst, or frequent urination.
Fasting blood glucose or HbA1c tests offer reliable, early detection. Our Metabolic Care Unit provides walk-in screenings during Men’s Health Month.
🚶♂️ Prevention Through Lifestyle & Monitoring
Exercise, diet, and regular testing are your best weapons against cholesterol and diabetes. Combine early detection with healthy living for maximum long-term impact.
