In the middle of 2019 I suffered from frequent urination. Suddenly one day in the afternoon I started urinating profusely. I urinate 20 to 40 times a day. I get very depressed for no reason. I take treatment on my own and continue doing physical activity. During physical exertion, urine levels are very low. My urine was yellow and orange color. At present the level of urine is very low. But the hands and feet ache and I feel sluggish. But I didn't see any doctor out of fear. So is this a symptom of my diabetes? My body weight was 77 kg before frequent urination. Currently my body weight is 76 kg to 77 kg. There was no physical change in my body.
It's 3.5 years since you have these symptoms. The very first thing we should do in such condition is to see a doctor and get necessary medical tests done on time so that diseases can be cured at very early stage. Urinating 20 to 40 times a day is way too much and anyone having such condition must see a doctor.
This is very interesting read for people suffering with type of diabetes (or if anyone in your family is suffering with type 2 diabetes). American college of physicians published a study in 2018, according to that study patients with T2 diabetes should be given medicines for maintaining hba1c between 7 to 8 as there are evidence that medicines given to lower hba1c below such values did great damage to body.
ADA (American diabetics Association) never accepted that study. As ADA guidelines are to maintain a hba1c below 5.6 which is very difficult for patients with T2.
Although ACPs guidance statement focuses on drug therapy to control blood sugar, a lower treatment target is appropriate if it can be achieved with diet and lifestyle modifications such as exercise, dietary changes, and weight loss, said Dr. Ende.
