Diabetes
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Diabetes is a group of chronic diseases in which the body does not produce enough insulin or does not use it properly, which leads to high levels of glucose in the blood. Over time, this imbalance can affect different organs.
Common symptoms: Among the manifestations that are usually described are intense thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision, although in early stages it may not cause any discomfort.
When to see a doctor? It is sensible to seek an evaluation with these symptoms, with a family history, or if a routine test shows abnormal glucose.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist and the internist are the ones who usually manage diabetes, with support from the nutritionist for the meal plan. We recommend consulting a professional who provides regular follow-up of your case.
