Patient's question:
My relative suffers from type 2 diabetes and has been dependent on medication. Recently, my weight has been steadily increasing, and my appetite remains the same as before, but the frequency of urination has increased. I suspect I might also have type 2 diabetes and would like to consult. What are the symptoms of type 2 diabetes?Doctor's answer:
A relative has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Your weight is also increasing, and if you have symptoms of excessive thirst, hunger, and frequent urination, it may be related to blood sugar levels. Avoid eating high-sugar foods and maintain a positive mood. Engage in regular physical activity. You can visit the hospital for fasting blood sugar tests, post-meal blood sugar tests, and other related examinations. If your fasting blood sugar is below 7.0 and your post-meal blood sugar is below 11.1, you may have diabetes.
