Often a silent illness. Several of my patients have been diagnosed via routine blood tests for other reasons.
The main symptoms that can usually occur tend to be as follows:
1) excessive thirst
2) passing urine more often
3) weight loss
4) fatigue
5) recurrent unexplained infections
A positive family history is also a risk factor for diabetes.
A glucose test by the doctor can easily aid diagnosis.
Treatment depends on the severity of the diabetes and ones diet and exercise levels.
