Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood, either because the body does not produce enough insulin or because it does not use it effectively. It is one of the most common conditions in Mexico.

Common symptoms:

• Increased thirst and hunger
• Frequent need to urinate
• Fatigue and blurred vision

Common causes: Factors such as family history, being overweight, a sedentary lifestyle and diet play a role, along with other components specific to each person.

Which professional treats it? The general practitioner can begin the assessment, while the diabetologist and the integrated medicine specialist support long-term management. If you have these symptoms or risk factors, it is worth scheduling a check-up to understand your situation clearly.
