Common Diabetes Symptoms Make Catch-22 Situations

For quite a few months after my diagnosis, I happened to learn firsthand that diabetics can have some really interesting nights. Apart from the insomnia that haunts us for various reasons, such as frequent urination and severe thirst, the forced wakefulness can play other dirty games as well.

The constant thirst, frequent urination, the blurred vision, and the discouraging blow on intimacy are enough to drive you crazy. It's no wonder that so many diabetics usually go for the quick way to control diabetes symptoms very soon after their first visit to the doctor. They will still have these hidden "signs" masked or covered up by Metformin, Actos, Amaryl, and insulin in various forms. Catch-22 again. You still have it but you can't see it.

This is not a laughable matter when you are experiencing these symptoms, or when you have to depend totally on prescription drugs to simulate some semblance of "normal". But when you no longer need your medication, and when your doctor tells you there is no need for a visit until 6 to 9 months time, then you may consider it something to chuckle about. In fact, you may even write about those catch-22 diabetes symptoms like you were never bothered by them.
