Screening is soooooo important!

Why?

Because, did you know that type 1 diabetes can present and progress in stages…? Yeah, we were unaware as well until educated by Dr. Buggs at Wayne Pediatrics

More often than not, before an official diagnosis, some people are already in stage 1 or 2.

This is why screening matters! To protect the organs that type 1 can do great harm to if not detected early. To reduce DKA hospital admissions. To save yourself or a
Loved one…being a WOC, our community needs to be screened!

Want to get screened? Reach out to Wayne Pediatrics at (313) 448-9600 today to schedule your simple, quick and easy screening!

One tiny finger poke one powerful result. Whether unsure, currently diagnosed with type 2, or no diagnosis at all…do it anyway!
