Diabetes is often called a "Silent Killer." By the time extreme thirst, frequent urination, or blurred vision appear, the elevated glucose levels may have already been causing micro-damage to your vital systems for a long time. This is why early clinical intervention is the only way to ensure long-term longevity.

Who is at Risk? (The Screening Checklist)

If you fall into any of these categories, do not wait for symptoms. Early screening is a necessity, not an option:

• Family History: Parents or siblings with Type 2 Diabetes.
• Body Composition: Carrying excess weight around the belly (visceral fat).
• Metabolic Indicators: Known high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
• Age Factor: Being over 30–35 years old in a high-stress urban environment.
• Sedentary Lifestyle: Less than 150 minutes of physical activity per week.

Timely Action: Your 5-Step Prevention Plan

1. Regular Monitoring: Don't just check fasting sugar; test your HbA1c every 3 to 6 months to see your 90-day average.
2. Early Medication: If your doctor prescribes medication, do not delay. Managing sugar early prevents "glucose toxicity."
3. The 30-Minute Rule: At least 30 minutes of brisk walking can significantly improve insulin sensitivity.
4. Nutritional Balance: Focus on low-glycemic index foods to prevent sharp insulin spikes.
5. Organ Screening: Annual eye and kidney function tests are mandatory for anyone with borderline high sugar.
