Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling like my appetite is particularly large, but not only haven't I gained weight, I've actually lost weight. I'm questioning whether I might have diabetes. If one has diabetes, what symptoms would they experience?Doctor's answer:
Hello, diabetes is a common clinical diagnosis caused by the interaction of intergenerational inheritance and environmental factors, with hyperglycemia as the main indicator. Common symptoms include polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, and weight loss. Your condition is very likely to be a symptom caused by diabetes. It is recommended to go to the hospital for blood tests to check fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose for a thorough examination to determine if you have diabetes. If you have diabetes, you need to take hypoglycemic drugs for treatment.
