How many visits did you make to your doctor before you were correctly diagnosed with diabetes? Poll dates: April 29 - May 6, 2001 Total Votes: 824 Just under one-third of respondents report making more than one trip to the doctor before their diabetes was correctly diagnosed. Since undiagnosed diabetes, particularly Type 1 diabetes, can be life threatening, early diagnosis is important to reduce the risk of DKA. Remember the three most common symptoms of Type 1 diabetes: Polydipsia (excessive thirst) Polyuris (excessive urination) Weight loss Other symptoms include yeast infections, dehydration, vomiting, lethargy, confusion, extreme thirst, bedwetting, and a fruity odor to breath. If you or someone you know has these symptoms, see your doctor right away and insist on a blood glucose test. For more information, see Diabetes Basics. [Return to the current poll]
