A below-30 patient came today. Last year he visited another doctor. According to the clinic record, he visited with the typical symptoms of diabetes mellitus. His random blood sugar was 655 mg/dl (the normal limit is 70-150 mg/dl) and triglyceride was 654 mg/dl (the normal range is 50-165 mg/dl). Very high blood sugar and blood lipids! He was referred to a nearby diabetes center. According to him, he was given medicines from there but he only continued for 3 months. Then he stopped the medicines. He mentioned that he was on regular exercise!
For the last couple of weeks, he again started having symptoms; weight loss, increased thirst, increased hunger, increased urine output! So, he decided to visit a doctor. This time his fasting blood sugar was 365 mg/dl (normal limit 60-110 mg/dl), total cholesterol was 246 mg/dl (normal limit < 200 mg/dl) and triglyceride was 184 mg/dl. Both of the time, his blood pressure was normal.
He was having uncontrolled diabetes with typical symptoms, and abnormal lipids. Both conditions are damaging every system of his body gradually but surely! Exercise alone is not sufficient to keep these two chronic conditions under control. He needs help with the medications. I emphasized continuing the medications this time. I also suggested that he continue to exercise and concentrate on the diet.
It was a good decision that he decided to see a doctor to properly manage the two diseases considered silent killers.
