When Should You See a Doctor?
A diabetes person should immediately seek medical attention if they are having suicidal thoughts or are harming themselves. Furthermore, if one is suffering from confusion where they may forget who they really are, it can be a sign of an extremely high level of blood sugar, a condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis.
There are several other symptoms that will require a person to visit a doctor or most especially, a psychiatrist. These include unexplained pain, feeling of sadness and hopelessness, loss of interest in life, etc.
Your doctor may consider reviewing the medications you are currently on. Certain drugs can be the reason behind the mood swings and depression. There are also certain medications and therapies that can help to treat anxiety and depression related to diabetes.
