Patient's question:
My dietary habits have always been very regular, but now I've lost over ten pounds in just 20 days. I'm really in pain because I wasn't very overweight to begin with, and now I'm even skinnier. I think there must be something wrong with my body. What are the symptoms of diabetes?Doctor's answer:
The most common clinical diagnostic symptoms caused by diabetes include weight gain, dry mouth, increased thirst, frequent urination, and increased appetite. Some people may also experience headaches and dizziness. In addition, some individuals may experience hypoglycemia, accompanied by palpitations and cold sweats. To confirm diabetes, it is necessary to undergo a glucose tolerance test at the hospital. Sometimes, the initial symptoms may be complications.
