November is Diabetes Awareness Month

by Dr. Kyle Chavers, MD, IFMCP

Diabetes is a serious medical condition and an individual’s symptoms can appear gradually or come on all at once.

If you are diagnosed with diabetes you will need to manage and monitor your blood sugar daily. This is why it is important to know the signs of diabetes and when to be evaluated. Some symptoms include:

• Dry mouth and extreme thirst
• Extreme lack of energy and/or fatigue
• Frequent urination
• Blurred vision
• Wounds that will not easily heal.

If you are experiencing these warning signs we recommend you give us a call for a comprehensive evaluation to determine if diabetes may be the culprit.
