From Numb Feet to Heart Risk: Catch Diabetes Before It’s Too Late

from Ask Dr. DeSilva · host Derrick DeSilva MD

Dr. Derrick DeSilva reviews a new global study showing many people have undiagnosed diabetes and explains common but easy-to-miss signs—frequent urination, excessive thirst, fatigue, numbness—and the serious complications that can follow, including eye, heart, nerve and kidney damage. He breaks down how diabetes is diagnosed (hemoglobin A1C and insulin testing), why early detection matters, and practical steps to manage risk: testing, diet, exercise, weight loss and appropriate medical or supplement support.
