RE: [EN/PT] The Importance of a Check-up

That's one of the good things about routine checkups, it helps in serrendipitious discovery of diseases and in your case now, the pre-diabetes won't have been discovered if you didn't check yourself and would have led to full blown diabetes which would have made it more difficult to treat...

The idea of it being costly is always not a good one because when you finally become sick, you will even end up spending more than you would have spent if you did routine checks
