Unexplained weight gain or loss, as well as excessive appetite, may also indicate latent diabetes. I told you this “AiF” Marina Maksimova, endocrinologist at the National Medical Research Center of Phthisiopulmonology and Infectious Diseases of the Ministry of Health of Russia.
He noted that diabetes is considered one of the most common pathologies. Traditionally, a fasting blood test is performed to measure glucose levels to investigate this disease. However, for latent diabetes, such tests do not show anything because glucose peaks at night or after meals.
But at the same time, latent diabetes can be demonstrated not only by changes in appetite and body weight. Doctors called for attention to bleeding gums and other dental problems that did not exist before. Diabetes is also indicated by a feeling of thirst and dry mouth, especially when a person drinks more than three liters of water per day.
Another symptom of diabetes can be slow healing of wounds and constant fatigue even after rest. The doctor recommended paying attention to decreased skin sensitivity, as the disease often affects small vessels.
To prevent the development of obesity, Maksimova recommended controlling body weight, as well as limiting the consumption of fatty foods, baked goods and sweets. The doctor reminded me of the benefits of any type of physical activity and asked me to periodically consult a specialist and undergo a medical examination.
