RE: A Short Guide To Diabetes For the Regular Person

in #life8 years ago

I see, thanks doc @thecryptofiend. One of my friends have it, she's 65 and skinny and going on a diet won't work. She does move a lot and walk much so she actually has not much of a problem with it - just that she's always hungry and thirsty :)

Sort:  

Is she seeing a doctor about it? It sounds like she has poor control and the symptoms you are describing are consistent with high blood glucose levels. The fact that she is skinny may indicate that she may have type 1 or a mix of the two - I would suggest she gets a full assessment from an edocrinologist/diabetic specialist.

@thecryptofiend yes, she always has a blood sugar check up or something like that .

I think if she is still having symptoms like you describe she needs more intensive treatment.
