Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, and Diabetes: Essential Screenings for Women

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women — and prevention starts with screening. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help women stay ahead of silent conditions like hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

Blood Pressure:

High blood pressure often has no symptoms.
We recommend screening at least yearly, or more often if elevated.

Cholesterol:

Even healthy women can have high LDL or low HDL due to genetics.
Screening begins at age 20 and repeats every 3–5 years (or annually if abnormal).

Diabetes Screening:

Insulin resistance can begin years before symptoms. Women with PCOS, weight changes, or family history need earlier screening.
We check:
• Fasting glucose
• A1c
• Insulin (when appropriate)

Why these screenings matter:

✔ Early detection prevents heart disease
✔ Lifestyle and medication changes work best when started early
✔ Women’s metabolism changes during perimenopause and menopause

Preventive care isn’t about fear — it’s about staying informed and empowered.
