Q:

I'm concerned about diabetes. For as long as I can remember, I have had frequent hunger and thirst, urinate frequently (but I am also athletic). Lately though, I've been very sleepy and tired and have only been exercising 1x a week for the past 2 months. I've also noticed tingling in my feet and legs if I sit too long. Should I be concerned?

 

A:

Your symptoms certainly warrant a blood sugar check but also warrant a more general evaluation as there are other causes besides diabetes which should be ruled out.  We can do this at the Health Center if you call 650-3400 for a same day appointment.
