Beyond Sugar: What About Cholesterol? Get Screened with RM10 Off

Approximately 3 in 4 patients with diabetes in Malaysia have cholesterol problems and many are not aware of it.

That’s why regular blood tests, including kidney function checks, are recommended at least once a year to monitor your overall health. 

How Diabetes and Cholesterol Affect Your Kidneys

When blood sugar and cholesterol are not well controlled over time:

  • Blood vessels can become damaged
  • Circulation to the kidneys may be affected
  • The kidneys’ filtering ability may gradually weaken

This doesn’t happen suddenly. It builds up quietly.
That’s why many people only discover kidney issues at a later stage.

What Can a Simple Blood Test Reveal?

A proper health screening gives you a clearer picture of your health:

  • Kidney function markers
  • Blood sugar levels
  • Cholesterol levels

These tests work together to show how your body is functioning—not just one number, but the full picture.
