Diabetic Symptoms in Men

 

It used to be that the rate at which people were diagnosed with diabetes was similar for men and for women. However, now the rate of men being diagnosed is increasing faster than that of women, notes the American Diabetes Association. Furthermore, men make about 30% fewer doctor visits every year than women do, even when factoring out obstetrician and gynecology visits. Once you have diabetes, you can’t turn back the clock. So, it is important to start taking care of your body with a healthy diet, exercise, and regular doctor’s visits.

Take time to learn the diabetes symptoms. If you already have diabetes, it is most important to learn the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy because men are at higher risk than any other group. Diabetic symptoms for men are, for the most part, the same as those for women and other groups.
