Diabesity (Diabetes & Obesity) Screening
What many people may not realize is that obesity and uncontrolled diabetes are also linked to an increased risk of certain cancers. Excess body weight, poor metabolic health, chronic inflammation, and high blood sugar levels may contribute to the development of cancers such as breast, colorectal, liver, pancreatic, and endometrial cancer.
At Beacon Hospital, we believe prevention and early detection are essential for protecting your long-term health. Our Diabesity Screening is specially designed for individuals who may not realize they are at risk for diabetes, obesity-related complications, and other chronic diseases that may impact overall wellbeing including cancer risks associated with poor metabolic health.
Why Early Screening Matters?
Diabetes and obesity are often known as “silent health conditions” because they may not show obvious warning signs in the early stages. Many individuals only discover they have these conditions after complications develop.
Early screening helps to:
- Detect hidden diabetes or pre-diabetes
- Identify obesity-related health risks early
- Assess metabolic and cardiovascular health
- Support early lifestyle intervention and prevention strategies
- Reduce the risk of long-term complications and chronic diseases, including certain cancers
- Improve overall health and quality of life
You may be at risk if you:
- Overweight or gaining weight easily
- Frequently feel tired or sleepy
- Have a family history of diabetes
- Experience frequent thirst or urination
- Have high blood pressure or high cholesterol
- Rarely exercise or have an unhealthy diet
- Have increasing waist circumference
What is Diabesity Screening?
Diabesity Screening is a health screening package designed to assess the risk of diabetes and obesity-related complications through blood tests, body assessment, and medical consultation.
