Diabetes signs and symptoms
Diabetes is becoming an increasingly common disease for many people. If you've ever wondered about what that means and what it's like to have diabetes, M. Regina Castro, M.D., is here to answer your questions. Pick up your copy of Mayo Clinic: The Essential Diabetes Book: https://mcpress.mayoclinic.org/produc...
Join Dr. Castro as she provides details on the signs and symptoms of diabetes, as well as the differences between Type I and Type II diabetes, such as:
Classic symptoms:
• Going to the bathroom frequently
• Increased thirst
• Fatigue or muscle weakness
• Numbness in hands or feet
• Blurred vision
People with Type I diabetes will have these symptoms almost always present and will likely experience a sudden onset of these symptoms. Those with Type II diabetes, however, may only show very subtle symptoms or may not show symptoms for years before they are diagnosed.
If you are experiencing any or several of these symptoms, we recommend talking to your doctor about checking your blood sugar.
