Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common symptoms of diabetes?
Increased thirst, passing urine more often, tiredness, unexplained weight loss, blurred vision and slow-healing wounds. Some people have no symptoms at all, so testing is important if you have risk factors.
How is diabetes diagnosed?
By blood tests, such as fasting or after-meal blood sugar and HbA1c, which shows your average blood sugar over the past few months. Your doctor will advise which tests you need.
How often should I check my blood sugar and HbA1c?
It depends on the type of diabetes, your treatment and how well it is controlled. Your doctor will give you a schedule that suits you.
Can diabetes affect other parts of the body?
Yes. Over time it can affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and feet. Regular screening and good control help lower this risk.
If my blood sugar becomes normal, can I stop my medicines?
No. Please never stop or change your medicines, including insulin, without your doctor's advice.
What lifestyle changes help with diabetes?
Balanced meals, regular physical activity as advised by your doctor, a healthy weight, avoiding tobacco, and keeping your follow-up visits.
