Blood glucose measurement is used to measure the glucose level in the blood (blood glucose value). It is particularly useful for people who have an increased risk of developing diabetes mellitus. Risk factors include lack of physical activity and being overweight, metabolic syndrome, age, and a family history of diabetes. Have your blood glucose measured at St. Johann Pharmacy with a small finger prick.
Increased physical activity, weight reduction, giving up nicotine and a healthy diet can have a positive effect on blood glucose levels. Diabetes mellitus often remains undetected for several years. Symptoms such as polyuria (increased urine volume), polydipsia (increased thirst), fatigue and reduced performance only occur at a late stage. It is only the blood glucose level that reliably confirms diabetes mellitus. In addition, good blood glucose control has a positive effect on the prognosis and course of diabetes mellitus. The team at St. Johann Pharmacy offers you the opportunity to have your blood glucose levels measured directly on site and then discuss them in a consultation. A small prick to the fingertip is all that is needed (price 15.-). Come by and ask us!
