General Practitioners

• Medical Weight Loss
  Although signs and symptoms of diabetes may be subtle, classic symptoms include a significant increase in urination, significant increase in thirst, and, weight loss. One of the first signs may be new bedwetting in a child who was previously dry; or, increased daytime accidents. Often, the first sign is a serious and sometimes life-threatening state called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Due to a lack of insulin, DKA occurs when blood sugars levels are very high and the body produces ketones. Ketones are produced when the body has to break down fat for energy. High levels can cause electrolyte imbalances, vomiting, and confusion that can require medical attention.
