The Trust is good, control is better!  Thanks to our modern health system, there are a number of regular checkups for people with diabetes.  In order not to lose the overview, we have summarized the most important studies.

Since we Humans are not Machines and there is no spare parts  in this sense, we have to take special care of ourselves and our bodies.  Your Car also has to go for a checkup at regular intervals.  And just as there is a logbook for the Car, there is also the “Diabetes Health Passport” .  Your Doctor can issue one for you so that you too have a good overview of your examinations.  What is legally anchored in the car is up to you in terms of health.  So make appointments, have a check-up and you and your monster can sleep peacefully.
