Common symptoms:

When to see the doctor? If the symptoms are intense, persistent or accompanied by general malaise, a prompt evaluation is advisable; severe cases require urgent care.
Which specialist treats it? The internist and the family physician evaluate hyperglycemia comprehensively, while the diabetes specialist and the nephrologist participate depending on the situation; the emergency physician handles acute episodes. If you have been told about high sugar levels, following up with a professional helps take care of yourself.
