Did you know that more than 1 in 4 adults with diabetes don't even know they have it? Diabetes can develop slowly, and the early warning signs are often easy to overlook. Increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained fatigue, blurry vision, and slow-healing wounds could all be signs that it's time to talk to your doctor. The good news? Early detection can make a big difference! At UAB Medical West, our primary care providers are here to help with diabetes screening, prevention, and ongoing care.

Learn the warning signs and when to get checked in our latest blog.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month! When it comes to lung cancer, early detection matters. Lung cancer often develops without noticeable symptoms, making screening an important tool for those at higher risk. At UAB Medical West, we offer Low-Dose CT (LDCT) lung cancer screening to help detect potential concerns early, when treatment may be more effective.

Talk with your healthcare provider about your risk factors and whether LDCT screening is right for you.

Breast Cancer Awareness starts with knowing your body! Being familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel can help you recognize changes that may need medical attention. While breast self-exams don't replace routine mammograms or screenings, breast self-awareness is an important part of your overall health.
