Take Control of Your Diabetes Health Journey
Living with Type 1 diabetes means constantly navigating health uncertainties, especially the fear of microvascular complications that could affect your vision, kidneys, and nerve function. We understand the anxiety that comes with managing diabetes day-to-day, and we’re here to provide clarity and peace of mind through advanced genetic testing.
Understanding Your VEGFA Gene Test
The VEGFA gene plays a crucial role in blood vessel formation and maintenance throughout your body. When this gene functions optimally, it helps maintain healthy microvascular systems. However, certain genetic variations can increase your susceptibility to diabetes-related complications affecting small blood vessels in your eyes, kidneys, and nerves.
Our Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most comprehensive analysis available, examining your VEGFA gene with exceptional accuracy to identify potential risk factors before complications develop.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly valuable if you experience:
- Family history of diabetes complications like retinopathy or nephropathy
- Concerns about future vision, kidney, or nerve health
- Difficulty managing blood sugar levels consistently
- Early signs of microvascular changes detected during check-ups
- Desire for proactive, personalized diabetes management strategies
Many South Africans with Type 1 diabetes find this test provides the clarity needed to work more effectively with their healthcare team.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health Future
Early detection through genetic testing offers significant advantages:
- Proactive Prevention: Identify risks before complications develop
- Personalised Care: Tailor your diabetes management to your genetic profile
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty about your health trajectory
- Informed Decisions: Make confident choices about treatments and lifestyle
