Symptoms That May Need for Diabetology Care
Consult the expert diabetologists at MGM Medical Centre if you experience any of the following symptoms:
1. Excessive thirst and frequent urination
Excessive thirst and frequent urination may indicate diabetes or other health issues. These symptoms result from the body's need to remove excess glucose or fluids.

Persistent fatigue is a prolonged state of exhaustion that affects daily activities, often linked to stress, illness, or lifestyle factors, requiring proper management.

Frequent infections or slow-healing wounds may indicate a weakened immune system, diabetes, or poor circulation, requiring medical attention for proper care.

Unexplained weight loss is a sudden drop in body weight without changes in diet or exercise. It may indicate underlying health issues and requires medical attention.

Blurred vision is a loss of sharpness in eyesight, making objects appear out of focus. It can result from eye strain, refractive errors, or medical conditions.
