Patient's question:
A few days ago, my mom said that she has been eating a lot recently, but her weight hasn't increased and has even gone down. She also occasionally feels that her urine is a bit yellow and that she needs to urinate more frequently. I suspect she might have type 2 diabetes. What are the early symptoms of type 2 diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, type 2 diabetes generally has symptoms such as excessive thirst, excessive hunger, frequent urination, increased appetite, and weight loss. She is currently eating a lot and her weight is increasing, and the frequency of urination has also increased, which may indicate diabetes. It is relatively simple to conduct a thorough examination to check for diabetes now. You can go to the hospital for a blood test to check blood sugar levels to find out. It is necessary to conduct a detailed examination of fasting blood glucose, as well as blood glucose levels one and two hours after a meal.
