Diabetes Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
Everyone thinks that diabetes is
Select
a
the
an
disease where
Select
a
the
an
patient excretes
Select
a
the
an
lot of sugar, is very thin and is inordinately thirsty. But there are many people who probably have diabetes and won't know they have it until
Select
a
the
an
severe symptom arises. However, there are some minor warning symptoms to look out for.
Diabetes tends to be hereditary. If you have
Select
a
the
an
diabetic parent, brother, sister or even aunt, there is
Select
a
the
an
increased risk of
Select
a
the
an
disease. But people often don't realise that although it often causes youngsters to lose weight, later on in life there may be
Select
a
the
an
filling out of
Select
a
the
an
waistline. And on
Select
a
the
an
subject of weight, overeating can also trigger off diabetes.
If
Select
a
the
an
woman who unexpectedly has one or two failed pregnancies, it will need to be investigated in several ways, but
Select
a
the
an
possibility of her being
Select
a
the
an
diabetic must be reckoned with. Similarly,
Select
a
the
an
mother who produces
Select
a
the
an
really large child, for example, over four and
Select
a
the
an
half kilos, needs to consider this possibility. Another way
Select
a
the
an
diagnosis can arise is when
Select
a
the
an
patient goes for
Select
a
the
an
life assurance medical examination and is rejected when they believed they were fit and healthy. If this happens,
Select
a
the
an
patient needs to go and see their own doctor and take
Select
a
the
an
specimen of urine with them.
