A disease where blood sugar levels are abnormally high due to issues with insulin production or resistance. Often, there are no symptoms until the condition worsens, so regular screening is important. Over time, high sugar levels can cause many complications affecting the nervous system, heart, eyes and kidneys.
Typical Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus
- I have been told that I stop breathing for a while when I am asleep
- I am taking or have taken oral diabetes medication
- History of diabetes requiring medications
- Taking steroids
- Numbness or tingling in the toes
- Hospitalization history for diabetes mellitus
- Double vision
- Tingling or pricking numbness in the legs even when keeping still
Diagnostic Questions for Diabetes Mellitus
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you stop breathing when sleeping?
- Have you taken oral medication for diabetes?
- Have you ever been treated for diabetes?
- Are you currently taking steroids?
- Do your toes feel numb or tingly?
Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus
Treatment starts with lifestyle changes such as exercise and a balanced diet with whole grain food. The doctor may prescribe pills and insulin injections to control blood sugar levels. Regular appointments and foot/eye screening are important to detect potential problems from diabetes.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
