Myth 1: If you don't have symptoms, you definitely don't have diabetes.
Diabetes, especially type 2, can develop gradually and be asymptomatic for a long time. Checking your glucose levels regularly is important, even if you feel well.
Myth 2: Diabetes can only be diagnosed by blood tests performed on an empty stomach.
It's not the only way. There are also other tests like a glucose hemoglobin HbA1c test, which indicates glucose levels over the past 2-3 months and is more accurate for long-term monitoring.
Myth 3: You should always get tested in a hospital to diagnose diabetes.
With the advancement of technology, modern glucose monitoring devices such as CGM systems allow you to monitor glucose at home and provide real-time data.
Myth 4: Once diagnosed, there is no need for further monitoring.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that requires constant monitoring. Even with stable readings, regular check-ups are necessary.
Regular diagnostics is the key to a healthy future!
